Prince Charles has tested positive for coronavirus, a royal spokesperson confirmed in a statement Wednesday, as CNN reports. The Prince of Wales "has been displaying mild symptoms but otherwise remains in good health and has been working from home throughout the last few days as usual," the spokesperson said.
The Duchess of Cornwall Camilla Parker Bowles tested negative for coronavirus, the spokesperson said. The couple are now self-isolating on the Balmoral estate in Scotland—after leaving London to avoid the virus, Harper's Bazaar reported last week.
The Clarence House spokesperson also said it was "not possible to ascertain" who Charles caught the virus from, because he had carried out a "high number of engagements" in recent weeks.
