The 73-year-old royal’s diagnosis comes just days after Queen Elizabeth celebrated her platinum jubilee and revealed that she wanted her daughter-in-law Duchess Camilla to be Queen Consort when Prince Charles takes the throne. She made her wishes known in an official announcement that coincided with the historic 70th anniversary of her accession.
Last night, the royal was joined by Camilla for their first public event since the Queen’s announcement. The couple attended a reception in the British Museum to celebrate the work that has been done by the British Asian Trust.
Prince Charles first tested positive for Covid at the start of the pandemic in March 2020. In February 2021, Prince Charles and wife Camilla received their first doses of the Covid-19 vaccine.
