The Queen being 'closely monitored' for Covid-19 symptoms as Prince Charles tests positive
The Queen is being monitored for Covid-19 symptoms after her son, Prince Charles, tested positive for the virus, two days after being in contact with her.
- Clarence House issued a statement yesterday confirming that Prince Charles tested positive for Covid-19 and is now self-isolating.
- Now Palace sources say the Queen is also being watched and tested frequently for the virus.
- This royal news comes after the Queen faced heartache over a painfully bittersweet day this week.
The Queen faces more health fears as she is being ‘monitored’ closely for any symptoms of Covid-19 after Prince Charles tested positive for the virus a second time.
Prince Charles first tested positive in March 2020 but revealed he "got away with it quite lightly" experiencing only mild symptoms.
Yesterday Clarence House announced the future King he has tested positive for the second time, during routine testing and is now self-isolating.
The statement read, "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."
According to royal insiders, the Queen is now being watched closely and tested for the virus, as it’s believed she was in close contact with her son within the past two days.
