According to Reuters and The Associated Press, the 74-year-old duchess, who is married to Prince Charles, “is self-isolating” and continues “to follow government guidelines,” Clarence House said in a statement Monday.

The news came just days after Charles, 73, tested positive for the virus for the second time.

“This morning, the Prince of Wales has tested positive for COVID-19 and is now self-isolating,” read a Thursday tweet from the official account shared by the royal couple. “HRH is deeply disappointed not to be able to attend today’s events in Winchester and will look to reschedule his visit as soon as possible.”

Charles, who is Queen Elizabeth II’s son and the heir to the British throne, previously was diagnosed with COVID-19 in March 2020, Clarence House announced at the time.

On Wednesday, Charles attended a reception at the British Museum, where he “met dozens of people,” according to the AP. He also reportedly met with the queen early last week.

Both Charles and Camilla have said they are vaccinated against COVID-19 and have received their booster shots, the BBC reported in December.
