In Britain, the Duchess of Cornwall has tested positive for Covid, Clarence House has announced. Camilla, 74, caught the virus for the first time just days after the Prince of Wales contracted the illness for a second time. A Clarence House spokesman said: “Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall has tested positive for Covid-19 and is self-isolating. “We continue to follow government guidelines.”
Camilla is triple vaccinated, sources said. Clarence House declined to confirm how Camilla was feeling or whether the prince and the duchess were isolating together on Valentine’s Day. The duchess carried out a string of engagements last Thursday – the day Charles tested positive. Camilla described herself as ‘luckily’ negative the same day, saying of her testing regime during a visit to Thames Valley Partnership in Buckinghamshire: “I’ve taken it so many times”. – dpa
