"The Duchess of Cornwall has also been tested but does not have the virus," the statement continues. "In accordance with Government and medical advice, the Prince and the Duchess are now self-isolating at home in Scotland. The tests were carried out by the NHS in Aberdeenshire where they met the criteria required for testing."
"It is not possible to ascertain from whom the Prince caught the virus owing to the high number of engagements he carried out in his public role during recent weeks."
Prince Charles, who attended his last public royal engagement on March 12, is now among the group advised by the British government to remain at home for the next twelve weeks. And he is not the only royal, who has contracted the virus: Prince Albert II., Prince of Monaco, has also tested positive for COVID-19.
