Royal Family News: Prince Charles Has Covid
It is believed that Her Majesty, like her son Prince Charles, is fully vaccinated. According to aides, “the prince was found to be positive during a test taken this morning as routine before any public engagements – which suggested he was experiencing no strong symptoms – but they declined to go into further details on his medical condition.”
On Thursday Camilla carried on with her own schedule of royal appearances. A spokesman noted, “The Duchess of Cornwall has routinely tested negative today. She is on a separate series of engagements from the Prince of Wales.”
The rules of engagement surrounding covid are changing daily and as of Thursday morning, under current UK Covid rules, “although she lives with Charles, Camilla is not required to self-isolate as she is also fully vaccinated.”

It is thought that the queen received her first shot in January 2021 and her second jab in March; sources say it is believed she got her booster shot in October.
The news of Prince Charles’ diagnosis comes a day after Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced plans to eliminate all covid restrictions in England by the end of February. This means that, “even those who have tested positive for the virus will not be required to self-isolate, ‘provided the current encouraging trends in the data continue.’”
Following the news of Charles’ condition, Johnson’s spokesman stated that he hopes Charles makes a swift recovery.
