Fears for Queen as Prince Charles gets Covid again

Prince Charles has tested positive for Covid for a second time, just days after meeting with his 95-year-old mother.

The Queen came into contact with Prince Charles just two days before he tested positive for Covid, it‘s understood.

Her Majesty, 95, is not displaying any symptoms after it was today revealed she had seen her son, 73, in recent days as he now self-isolates.

Royal aides say the Duke of Cornwall isn‘t experiencing any strong symptoms after testing positive for the bug for the second time.

Her Majesty is now being “monitored” by her doctors and it‘s understood she will be advised to take rapid lateral flow tests each day for the next week.

Charles was due to unveil a statue of Licoricia of Winchester today before attending a civic reception at The Great Hall.

A statement said: “This morning The Prince of Wales has tested positive for COVID-19 and is now self-isolating.

“HRH is deeply disappointed not to be able to attend today’s events in Winchester and will look to reschedule his visit as soon as possible.”

Charles attended a black tie reception at the British Museum last night with the Duchess of Cornwall.

Camilla was out today meeting staff members at the Paddington Haven sexual assault referral centre in West London.

Under Covid rules, if you live with someone who tests positive you do not have to self-isolate if fully vaccinated.

It is the second time Charles, 73, has been struck by the disease after testing positive at the start of the pandemic in March 2020.

He said at the time he “got away with it quite lightly”.

The royal added: “I was lucky in my case … but I’ve had it, and I can so understand what other people have gone through.”

It comes after Her Majesty announced Camilla will become Queen in a statement marking her Platinum Jubilee on Saturday.

The Queen said it is her “sincere wish” that the Duchess of Cornwall will be known as Queen Consort in an address marking her Accession Day.
