The symptoms are “light”, comparable to those of a cold, announced Sunday, February 20 the Palace of Buckingham. Queen Elizabeth II, 95, who has just passed the course of the seventy years of reign has been diagnosed positively at CVIV-19.

She had met on February 8 his son Prince Charles, two days before it is also positive. It will lead “light tasks” over the next week, said Buckingham Palace, thus reassuring on his state of health.

Since his interview with his son, the Queen had made several public appearances. In particular, it had made last Wednesday a public commitment in person, receiving Major General Eldon Millar, responsible for liaising between the Queen and the armed forces, and his predecessor, the counter-admiral James MacLeod, at the castle of Windsor , about forty kilometers from London, main place of residence of the sovereign. A video of the meeting showed her with the two soldiers standing, smiling, wearing a pattern dress, with a cane in the hands.

Reassure on the health status of the queen

This appearance of the Queen had given a signal to reassure on his state of health, particularly scrutinized since she spent a night at the hospital in the fall for “preliminary” exams, whose nature has never since been specified. Tuesday, she had received in videoconferencing the new ambassadors of Estonia and Spain.

Prince Charles’ services, 73, had announced on February 10 that the heir of the British Crown had been diagnosed positively at COVID – for the second time – and that he wasolated himself. He had met his mother forty-eight hours earlier. The entourage of the monarch then declared that she had no symptoms, without wanting if she had been tested, feeding worry.

Monday, February 14, Camilla, 74, wife of Prince Charles, said she also contracted COVID-19.
