For the second time since the start of the pandemic, Prince Charles, heir to the throne, has tested positive for Covid-19. The palace announced the news through a press release this Thursday, February 10. If the Duke of Cornwall is doing well, he is forced, as health rules require, to isolate himself for a period of seven days. Vaccinated, the son of Elizabeth II will be able to resume his activities at the end of his isolation. But concern is beginning to win over the British since a few days before being declared positive, Prince Charles rubbed shoulders with his mother. The sovereign is therefore a contact case and at 95, some fear the worst. However, the news is reassuring. A relative of the palace revealed on a daily basis The Sun that the queen did not present”no symptoms“at the moment and that the situation was under control.
So far, Queen Elizabeth II has escaped contamination while several of her relatives have been struck down by the disease. In March 2020, Prince Charles was tested positive for the virus for the first time. Prince William had also been infected without announcing it at the time. The Duke of Cambridge had waited a few weeks to reveal that he too had to isolate himself. No doubt this omission had been requested by the queen to avoid increasing concern among the British. But Thursday, February 10, impossible not to ask the question. Especially when the sovereign is more than ever in the spotlight in this period of jubilee.
Elizabeth II celebrates 70 years of reign. For the occasion and as every year, many events and festivities are organized to honor him in recognition of his dedication to the United Kingdom. Losing the queen, if the worst should happen, in this time is unimaginable for everyone. However, everything has been planned for a long time for this dreaded day. Prince Charles will take his place to reign over the kingdom with, at his side, his wife Camilla Parker Bowles. The latter also had a magnificent gift from the queen who wishes to see her inherit the title of Queen Consort when Charles becomes king. An honor for the Duchess of Cornwall who would still like to keep the queen with her for a little longer.
