Queen Elizabeth is being monitored.
Shortly after it was announced that the monarch’s son, Prince Charles, tested positive for COVID-19, a royal source confirmed to PEOPLE that the 95-year-old is being monitored for symptoms.
The source noted that the Queen is not currently displaying any symptoms of the virus, but the possibility of the royal also testing positive is a concern since she recently met with her son.
Before Prince Charles tested positive for COVID-19, he visited Windsor Castle, where the Queen is currently living, on Tuesday. The 73-year-old is now self-isolating.
