The 71-year-old Prince of Wales demonstrates good health and works from home.

His wife, Camilla, 72, the Duchess of Cornwall, received a negative coronavirus test. They are currently at their Burnham home on the Balmoral Estate in Scotland.

“The Prince of Wales was tested for coronavirus, the result was positive. He is experiencing mild symptoms but otherwise remains in good health and has been working from home as usual for the past few days,” Clarence House said Wednesday morning.

His press service added that it was “impossible to establish” from whom Prince Charles could have contracted the virus, the office noted “a large number of obligations” that he had fulfilled in recent weeks.

The news of the prince's infection came out soon after it was announced that Prince of Monaco Albert also got COVID-19. According to numerous reports, Prince Charles sat opposite Prince Albert at the WaterAid charity event in London a few days before the coronavirus test was positive.

Prince Charles and the Duchess of Camille previously canceled their royal tour due to a pandemic, which was supposed to begin on March 17 and end on March 25 with stops in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Republic of Cyprus and Jordan.

“Due to the evolving situation with the coronavirus pandemic, the British Government has asked Their Royal Highnesses to postpone their spring trip to Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cyprus and Jordan,” the court said in a statement.

The mother of Prince Charles, Queen Elizabeth II, remains in good health, a spokesman for Buckingham Palace said.

“Her Majesty the Queen remains in good health. "The Queen last saw the Prince of Wales on the morning of March 12 and is following all appropriate advice regarding her health," the spokesman said.

The British royal family announced on its official website last week that Queen Elizabeth would temporarily move to Windsor Castle amid a growing coronavirus pandemic a week earlier than planned.

"As a reasonable precaution and for practical reasons in the current circumstances, a number of changes are being made to the Queen's schedule," the statement said. “The meetings due to take place this week at Buckingham Palace will proceed as planned. These included the reception of the Prime Minister, the Commanding Officer of HMS QUEEN ELIZABETH and the Bishop of Hereford. Future meetings will be reviewed on an ongoing basis in accordance with the recommendations.”

The royal family’s statement also emphasized that the court made firm decisions based on the advice of physicians as well as government officials. This means that events with "a large number of people" that the queen and other members of the royal family were supposed to attend will be canceled or postponed.

The annual family service in the chapel of St. George on April 9 has already been canceled, in addition, there will no longer be three parties in the garden that the queen was supposed to have in May.

In total, almost 430 thousand cases of coronavirus infection were registered in the world, more than 19 thousand people died.
