Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall has today also tested positive for Covid-19 just days after her husband Prince Charles – with the couple now both self-isolating.
Royal sources said Camilla, 74, has been triple vaccinated, adding that Clarence House will continue to follow government guidelines and review her engagements.
Camilla has caught the virus for the first time after Charles contracted it for a second time. She carried out engagements last Thursday – the day Charles tested positive.

A Clarence House spokesman said: ‘The Duchess of Cornwall has tested positive for Covid-19 and is self-isolating. We continue to follow government guidelines.’
It comes as doctors continue to monitor the Queen’s health after Charles was diagnosed with Covid-19 less than 48 hours after seeing his mother last week.
Camilla described herself as ‘luckily’ negative the same day, saying of her testing regime during a visit to Buckinghamshire last Thursday: ‘I’ve taken it so many times’.
Concern for the Queen’s health mounted last week after the 95-year-old monarch was in direct contact with eldest son Charles two days before he tested positive.

Buckingham Palace said last Thursday that the Queen was not displaying any symptoms, but refused to confirm whether she had tested positive or negative.
The 95-year-old spent time with Charles last Tuesday when the Prince of Wales was carrying out an investiture on her behalf at her Windsor Castle home.
It was the first time he had seen her since Christmas Day. But Charles, who is also triple vaccinated, then unexpectedly tested positive on a routine lateral flow test.
Buckingham Palace has refused to say whether the Queen had undergone a test herself or, if she had, what the result was, saying she had a ‘right to medical privacy’.
