“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.
“It is not possible to ascertain from whom the Prince caught the virus owing to the high number of engagements he carried out in his public role during recent weeks.”
He last had physical contact with Queen Elizabeth on the 12th of March and the 93-year-old monarch is said to be in “good health” and following all appropriate health and safety guidelines.
According to The Telegraph, his doctor’s estimate that the prince became contagious from March 13.
