Queen Elizabeth has tested positive for Covid just days after Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla, both caught the virus, Buckingham Palace has confirmed.
The 95-year-old monarch is understood to be experiencing “mild cold like symptoms”, but is expected to continue with light duties at Windsor over the coming week.
She will continue to receive medical attention and will follow all appropriate guidelines.
It comes just two weeks after the Queen reached her historic Platinum Jubilee, celebrating 70 years on the throne on February 6.
Buckingham Palace said in a statement today, “Buckingham Palace confirm that The Queen has today tested positive for Covid.
“Her Majesty is experiencing mild cold-like symptoms but expects to continue light duties at Windsor over the coming week.
“She will continue to receive medical attention and will follow all the appropriate guidelines.”
The Queen is understood to be triple vaccinated.
She is believed to have spent time with Charles on February 8, when he hosted an investiture at her Windsor Castle home, before he tested positive a few days later.
The Duchess of Cornwall also tested positive for Covid, Clarence House confirmed on Monday, with a statement adding that the duchess was self isolating.
