How Prince Charles Told His Sons About His Coronavirus Diagnosis

The royal family announced that Prince Charles tested positive with the coronavirus. Now, he is in self-isolation in Birkhall. Fans are glad that he only has mild symptoms and is in good health. However, they are curious about how the Prince of Wales told his two sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, about his condition. 

How Did Prince Charles Tell His Sons About His Diagnosis

Since the royal family is practicing social distancing, Prince Charles told Prince William and Prince Harry about his condition only through phone. It is believed that the conversation happened before Clarence House told the news to the public. 

March 9 is the last time that William and Harry were seen together with the Prince of Wales. Doctors believed that Prince Charles was contagious a few days after the public event, so the chances of siblings getting infected are slim. 

William and his family are currently staying at his country estate in Norfolk, while Harry is now in Canada with his wife, Meghan, and son, Archie. The Sussex couple is in a home on Vancouver Island.

Right now, there are no updates if William and Harry have undergone testing from the coronavirus. 

Prince Charles is Confirmed to Have Coronavirus Infection

The palace is now on the move to prevent the further spread of COVID-19. They started by canceling future events and letting all participants be in self-isolation. 

Even so, the royal family has confirmed that Prince Charles is positive from the virus. According to Hello Magazine, he is currently in good condition and is resting at his home until he recovers. 

A statement said that the Prince of Wales was tested positive with the coronavirus and had been showing mild symptoms. However, he is still in good health and is working from home. 

Camilla Parker Bowles was already tested and is negative at the moment. She and Prince Charles are now residing at their estate in Scotland and will be staying there for several weeks. 

The NHS tested Prince Charles. At 71, the Prince of Wales is at higher risk of getting complications due to the virus. 

How Did Prince Charles Get Infected?

No one has found out yet how Prince Charles got the coronavirus. Since he attended many events in the past few weeks, it will be hard to tell where he got it. 

The Clarence House said that it is impossible to say how Prince Charles got the virus due to the high number of public engagements he did in the last few weeks. 

Among the British royal family, only Charles contracted the coronavirus. Across the globe, other royals also tested positive, and these are Prince Albert of Monaco and Prince Henrik of Denmark. 

Even before knowing of Prince Charles' diagnosis, the palace has already been canceling public engagements and will still be doing so unless there is some good news. 

Since most of the royal family members are practicing self-isolation, the chance of spreading the virus is slim. Hopefully, Prince Charles recovers soon, and no one from the family gets infected further.
