Prince Charles has tested positive for coronavirus (COVID-19).

The Prince's Clarence House says that 71-year-old is displaying mild symptoms of the virus and has been working from home, and that his wife Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, has tested negative.

"The Prince of Wales has tested positive for Coronavirus. He has been displaying mild symptoms but otherwise remains in good health and has been working from home throughout the last few days as usual," they said in a statement. "The Duchess of Cornwall has also been tested but does not have the virus. In accordance with Government and medical advice, the Prince and the Duchess are now self-isolating at home in Scotland. The tests were carried out by the NHS in Aberdeenshire where they met the criteria required for testing."

They also said they are not sure where he caught the virus and added, "it is not possible to ascertain from whom the Prince caught the virus owing to the high number of engagements he carried it in his public role during recent weeks."
