(London) Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, tested positive for COVID-19 four days after her husband Prince Charles learned he was infected with the coronavirus, the couple’s office said on Monday.

Clarence House said Camilla placed herself in solitary confinement. Prince Charles has been doing the same since testing positive on Thursday, but Camilla had continued with her public engagements while taking daily tests.
Charles, 73, and Camilla, 74, are triply vaccinated.
Prince Charles, who is the heir to the British throne, had already contracted the coronavirus in March 2020, during the first wave of the pandemic.
Prince Charles is believed to have seen his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, early last week when they were both at Windsor Castle. Buckingham Palace has not said whether the 95-year-old Queen has tested positive, although it claimed last week that she had no symptoms.
