Servant close to Queen Elizabeth tests positive for
coroanvirus
On Wednesday, Prince Charles tested positive for the coronavirus
disease, after the heir apparent to the British throne met with Prince Albert
of Monaco two weeks ago, who has been confirmed as being infected with the
virus. The Prince and the Duchess are now in self-isolation at a residence in
Scotland.
A royal servant in close contact with Queen Elizabeth II tested positive
for the COVID-19 disease, raising fears for the monarch’s health amid the
ongoing coronavirus outbreak in the country, The Sun reported on
Saturday.
The
servant, whose duties include taking drinks and meals to the queen, introducing
guests, handing her letters and messages and walking her dogs, has reportedly
been sent home for self-isolation.
“Everyone is terrified, not just for themselves but also for the
Queen and the Duke", said one royal insider, according to the news outlet.
“If everyone around them hasn’t been tested yet they should be and
I’m sure they will be. There is a palpable sense of fear in the air at the
moment”.
According to The Sun, the royal household examined a dozen other members
of the staff and all tested negative for the virus.
Last
week, the 93-year-old monarch along, with husband Prince Philip, 98, moved
from Buckingham Palace to Windsor Castle after another servant at the
London residence was diagnosed with the coronavirus.
As of Saturday, the United Kingdom has
confirmed over 17,000 coronavirus-related infections, and 1,019 deaths.
