Prince Charles has contracted COVID-19 for a second time. Clarence House tweeted on Thursday that the Prince of Wales, 73, has tested positive for the virus and is now self-isolating.
“HRH is deeply disappointed not to be able to attend today’s events in Winchester and will look to reschedule his visit as soon as possible,” Clarence House added.
The night before Charles tested positive, he and the Duchess of Cornwall attended a reception to celebrate the work of the British Asian Trust. HOLA! USA’s sister brand HELLO! reported on Feb. 10 that a spokesperson said: “The Duchess of Cornwall has routinely tested negative today. She is on a separate series of engagements from the Prince of Wales.”
According to BBC, Clarence House confirmed that Princes William and Harry’s father is triple vaccinated. Last February, it was announced that the Prince and Camilla had both received their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Charles first caught the virus in March 2020. Discussing his experience with COVID that year, Charles told Sky News , “I was lucky in my case and got away with it quite lightly,” he shared.
“But I’ve had it, and I can so understand what other people have gone through. And I feel particularly for those for instance, who have lost their loved ones and have been unable to be with them at the time. That to me is the most ghastly thing,” he added. ”But in order to prevent this happening to so many more people, this is why I’m so determined to find a way out of this.”
