Prince Charles (71) is the first member of the British royal family to test positive for the corona virus. A spokesman for the British heir to the throne had confirmed corresponding media reports on March 25. In consultation with the government and doctors, Prince Charles quarantined in Balmoral Castle in Scotland. The 71-year-old, who belongs to the risk group due to his age, shows only mild symptoms and is in "good health".
This news must have been a great relief for his sons, Prince William (37) and Prince Harry (35). The British tabloid magazine "Hello!" Reports that her father was infected by phone. However, it is unclear when they last saw each other.
Where did the heir to the throne become infected?
A spokesman for Prince Charles said that it is impossible to trace where the heir to the throne got the virus from, as he has had a large number of public appointments in the past few weeks. Among other things, Charles met Prince Albert of Monaco (62), who was also infected with the corona virus, as has been known since March 19. Charles had greeted Albert at a charity event in London a few days earlier. An employee of Buckingham Palace had also tested positive.
