Prince Charles, the eldest son and heir to Queen Elizabeth II, is isolating after testing positive for coronavirus for the second time, his office says.
“The Prince of Wales has tested positive for COVID-19 and is now self-isolating,” says a message on the prince’s official Twitter page.
Charles had been due to unveil a statue in Winchester, southern England, but his attendance was canceled at the last minute, leaving him “deeply disappointed,” Clarence House says.
The prince met recently with the Queen, but the 95-year-old monarch is not currently displaying any symptoms, an unnamed royal source tells the domestic Press Association news agency.
