Queen Elizabeth Being Monitored After Prince Charles Contracts COVID-19 For 2nd Time: Report

Queen Elizabeth II is under observation for COVID-19 after her son Prince Charles, whom she recently met with, tested positive for COVID-19.

The 95-year-old monarch is "being monitored" but has so far shown no symptoms, an unnamed source told Us Weekly Thursday. The Queen is currently staying at Windsor Castle, where the Prince of Wales, 73, handed out investiture honors Tuesday.

Clarence House announced earlier on Thursday that the heir to the British throne had contracted COVID-19 for the second time.

As a result of the diagnosis, Prince Charles had to pull out of an event in the southwestern English town of Winchester that was being held to mark the 70th anniversary of his mother becoming queen.

"This morning The Prince of Wales has tested positive for COVID-19 and is now self-isolating," the announcement on Twitter read. "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."

Royal fans sent Prince Charles their well-wishes and love and wished him a speedy recovery.

"Oh not again! I hope he won't have symptoms. Wishing him a speedy recovery," one Twitter user commented. "All my wishes for a quick recovery," another added.

"Recover well, Prince Charles. Best wishes to you and [your] family," a third user wrote.

The Prince of Wales also tested positive for the coronavirus in March 2020. At the time, Clarence House said he displayed mild symptoms but otherwise remained in good health, Reuters reported. His wife, Duchess Camilla, was also tested but did not have the virus.

According to Scotland's then-chief medical officer, Dr. Catherine Calderwood, the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall had been tested for "clinical reasons" and both were in good condition. They went to Highgrove House, his residence in west England, and traveled to the Birkhall residence on the Balmoral estate in Scotland, where they isolated separately. Meanwhile, Queen Elizabeth was in Windsor Castle at the time.

"I was lucky, in my case, and got away with it quite lightly. I've had it and can still understand what other people are going through," Prince Charles told Sky News in June 2020. "I feel particularly for those, for instance, who've lost their loved ones but were unable to be with them at the time. That's, to me, the most ghastly thing."

Both Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla were vaccinated against COVID-19 in February 2021. In December of that year, the royal couple said they also received a booster shot.

The Queen, for her part, received a vaccination in January 2021. It is unclear if she has gotten a booster shot.
