LONDON (AP) - Charles of England, heir to the throne of Britain, tested positive for the new coronavirus, his office said on Wednesday. The 71-year-old prince suffered mild symptoms of COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus, and was isolated on royal family property in Scotland, Clarence House explained.
His wife, Camila, 72, tested negative, the office added.
"The Prince of Wales has tested positive for the coronavirus," Clarence House said in a statement. "He has shown mild symptoms and is otherwise in good health and has been working from home for the past few days as usual."
The National Health Service in Scotland carried out the tests.
"It is not possible to determine where the prince was infected given the high number of commitments he had on his public agenda in recent weeks," added his office.
Queen Elizabeth II was still at her home in Windsor, according to Buckingham Palace. Carlos last saw the queen on March 12, according to a BBC report.
