HRH The Crown Princess has tested positive for COVID-19 today, Wednesday, 15 December 2021.

Her Royal Highness is staying in isolation at Frederik VIII's Palace at Amalienborg. There is no indication that others in the family are infected.

In connection with the test result, the Royal House of Denmark is receiving advice from the Danish Patient Safety Authority concerning detection of infection. The Crown Princess will remain in isolation until it is once again safe to end the isolation according to the applicable guidelines.

Princess Mary is just one of several royals who have tested positive for Covid since the beginning of the pandemic and shared the news publicly. Per Hello, last December, her son Prince Christian tested positive for Covid following an outbreak of the virus at his school.

Additionally, both Prince Charles and Prince William tested positive for the virus early on in the pandemic. Prince Albert of Monaco also suffered from the disease around the same time, in March 2020.

In more recent months, Crown Princess Victoria and Crown Prince Daniel of Sweden tested positive in March 2021, not long after Victoria's brother Prince Carl Philip and his wife Princess Sofia received their own diagnoses. Princess Ingrid Alexandra of Norway has also been public about testing positive for Covid earlier this year.
