Buckingham Palace has announced today that the Queen has tested positive for COVID. The announcement, made at 11:45 a.m. UK time read:

"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."

T&C understands that several members of staff working at Windsor Castle have tested positive. The Queen is believed to be triple vaccinated but Buckingham Palace has never officially confirmed this. It was announced when she received her first vaccine in January 2021.

The news follows an announcement on February 10 that Prince Charles had tested positive after having been with the Queen not long before. It was announced on February 14 that the Duchess of Cornwall had also tested positive.
