Prince Charles Tests Positive For Coronavirus: British Royal Family Alerted Over New Covid-19 Scare
While Prince Charles has been infected with the virus, his wife Camilla Parker-Bowles has tested negative. The latest statistics show that there are over 436,420 reported cases in over 150 countries, with a death toll of 19,638. That number is expected to rise in the coming weeks, especially as more people are accessing tests. In the UK, there have been 8,077 cases and 422 deaths so far.
Prince Charles’ Clarence House office says that he is so far doing fine and that both he and Camilla Parker-Bowles are keeping their distancing at their home Burnham on the Balmoral Estate in Scotland. However, it is still unknown how the prince caught the virus, seeing how he carried out a number of royal engagements and public appearances prior to the WHO making the coronavirus a global pandemic. During his last week of appearances though Prince Charles was seen welcoming people with namaste rather than a handshake.
