Covid-19: Prince William tested positive in April

LONDON (Nov 2): Britain's Prince William was tested positive for Covid-19 in April this year, around the same as his father Prince Charles, according to a BBC report, citing palace sources.

The Duke of Cambridge, however, chose to keep his diagnosis to avoid alarming the nation as “there were important things going on and I didn’t want to worry anyone.”

According to the Sun newspaper, which first broke the news, Prince William has taken seven days’ break from phone calls and video messages from April 9 to 16.

In March, Prince Charles was tested positive and had to go into isolation. The 71-year old Prince of Wales described himself lucky as he only experienced mild symptoms.

The United Kingdom prime minister Boris Johnson also infected Covid-19 in end-March and checked into hospital for a week, three days in intensive care. 

The UK is among Europe’s worst hit countries with more than a million Covid-19 cases, Johnson has announced the second lockdown coming Thursday to curb the spread of the virus.
