Prince of Wales has been forced to self-isolate after testing positive for COVID-19, Clarence House disclosed.
Gatekeepers News reports that the 73-year-old Prince was found to be positive during a routine test, according to his aides who declined to go into further details on his medical condition.
This is the second time Prince Charles tested positive for the coronavirus after contracting the disease in March 2020.
A message on the prince’s official Twitter page 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.”
Both he and the Duchess of Cornwall have been taking regular tests before engagements and Clarence House said Camilla had a negative test on Thursday. Under current Covid rules, although she lives with Charles, Camilla is not required to self-isolate as she is also fully vaccinated.
A spokesman added: “The Duchess of Cornwall has routinely tested negative today. She is on a separate series of engagements from the Prince of Wales.”
