The royal family can’t seem to escape the limelight these days and Prince Charles is no exception. The 71-year-old royal has made headlines once again, and this time for a heartbreaking reason.

Prince Charles, father of Prince William and Prince Harry, revealed on March 25 that he tested positive for the coronavirus that has been sweeping the world. 

As reported by CNN , the Clarence House said in a statement that the Prince of Wales displayed mild symptoms and was otherwise in good health following the diagnosis. Since Prince Charles certainly had a busy schedule leading up to his diagnosis, it is uncertain how he was exposed to the virus.

Prince Charles had been self-isolated in Scotland following the positive test results and is now reported to be recovering and out of self-isolation. He announced on April 1 via Twitter that he’s “on the other side of the illness,” just one week after revealing that he had tested positive. 

It has not been reported that other members of the royal family have tested positive for the coronavirus. Family members such as Queen Elizabeth II, Prince William and Kate Middleton, as well as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were in close contact with Prince Charles during Commonwealth Day on March 9.

The royal family shared a statement from the Queen on the coronavirus via Instagram. “At times such as these, I am reminded that our nation’s history has been forged by people and communities coming together to work as one, concentrating our combined efforts with a focus on the common goal,” the statement read. “We are enormously thankful for the expertise and commitment of our scientists, medical practitioners and emergency and public services; but now more than any time in our recent past, we all have a vital important part to play as individuals - today and in the coming days, weeks and months.” 

The United Kingdom continues to grapple with the coronavirus as it has more than 41,900 confirmed cases and more than 4,300 deaths as of April 4.
