Prince Charles' Shocking Covid Announcement—And How The Queen Is Being 'Monitored'

Earlier this week, Prince Charles tested positive for Covid-19 for the second time, and now reports from the palace are revealing that the Queen is being heavily monitored to watch for symptoms and preserve her health. The Queen and her son Charles did recently come into contact, and sources close to the royal family say that frequent updates on the Queen’s health status will not be shared with the public despite concern.

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.

In fact, palace doctors have refrained from revealing to the public if the Queen even tested positive with the illness, although it was said that the 95-year-old royal has not exhibited symptoms thus far. While the Queen has never fallen ill with Covid, her son, Prince Charles has now tested positive for the second time after initially catching the virus back in 2020. 

The Queen and Charles were said to have seen each other two days before the 73-year-old tested positive for Covid when he visited Windsor Castle where his mother is currently residing. Both Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla, who will be known as Queen Consort when her husband one day takes the throne, have been triple vaccinated, and it is unclear which symptoms Charles is currently exhibiting.

Camilla has presently continued to test negative for the virus, but due to the positive test, Prince Charles will not be able to attend an event in Winchester as he had previously planned.  

In a tweet issued by Clarence House on behalf of Prince Charles, a statement from February 10 revealed, “This morning The Prince of Wales has tested positive for COVID-19 and is now self-isolating.” The statement continued, “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.”
