There is growing concern over Queen Elizabeth II's health after meeting the now-COVID-19 positive Prince Charles. Two days before the Prince of Wales confirmed he got the virus; he met Her Majesty at the palace.
Queen Elizabeth is now 95 years old, making her more vulnerable to the disease. However, they're now taking great measures to make sure she's in the best of health, though the palace is yet to reveal if she's positive or not.
Express noted the future king tested positive on Thursday, Feb. 10. A palace source then revealed he had been in contact with his mom after they met on Tuesday, Feb. 8, before he got the test result.
The prince held an inauguration at the monarch's home of Windsor Castle at the time. Fortunately, the leader of the Commonwealth realms is not yet showing any symptoms of the disease.
Currently, Clarence House officially announced Prince Charles is self-isolating and confirmed he has been triple vaccinated. He's about to hold another royal engagement in Winchester, but that may have been postponed.
This is the second time Prince William and Prince Harry's father contracted the virus. The first one was in March 2020, when he experienced mild symptoms, though he remained in good health.
Daily Mail revealed that the aides learned Princess Diana's former husband tested positive after taking a routine test before holding any public engagements. Though there are no words if he's experiencing any symptoms, this seems to suggest that he has none.
However, the palace didn't give any further details about Prince Charles' medical condition. Alternatively, Camilla Duchess of Cornwall tested negative.
Although the future queen consort lives with Prince Charles, she's not required to self-isolate because she's now fully vaccinated. Today, it's no longer a requirement for those who have come into contact with a COVID-19 positive person to self-isolate.
In the U.K., people who have the virus' symptoms or tested positive must self-isolate for 10 days. It can also be reduced to five days after two negative lateral flow test results.
Queen Elizabeth, too, doesn't have to isolate as she's believed to be fully vaccinated. However, as she was in contact with her son for the past 48 hours before he got his positive result, she had to take daily lateral flow tests for a week.
Anyhow, Russell Myers, Daily Mirror's royal editor, tweeted Buckingham Palace is yet to confirm or deny if the Queen has contracted coronavirus after meeting Prince Charles.
