Fears for Queen as Palace refuse to say if she has Covid after 'recent' Charles meeting

According to a source, the Queen has recently met with her son Prince Charles, who tested positive for Covid today, but Buckingham Palace has refused to confirm or deny if she has the virus.

The Queen "recently" met with Covid-hit Prince Charles but isn't displaying any symptoms of the virus, a Buckingham Palace source has said.

Earlier today, it was revealed that Charles had tested positive for Covid-19 for a second time and is self-isolating.

However, Buckingham Palace has refused to confirm or deny if Her Majesty has Covid.

The source added the situation will continue to be monitored, but a running commentary would not be provided on the monarch’s health.

It is not known when exactly the prince met with the Queen. But he held an investiture on Tuesday at Windsor Castle, where the monarch is currently staying.

Charles usually greets his mother in public with both a kiss on the hand and a kiss on the cheek.

The Queen, 95, received her first Covid vaccine over a year ago in January 2021 and is believed to have had her second dose last March. It's likely she's also had a booster jab.

This means she will not need to self isolate, unless she tests positive - but she will be advised to take rapid lateral flow tests, one a day for seven days.

However, mounting concern for the Queen’s health will be heightened given her advanced age.

In a tweet earlier today, Clarence House revealed that 73-year-old Charles had tested positive for the virus this morning and as result would be cancelling engagements in Winchester today.

The tweet by Clarence House said: "This morning The Prince of Wales has tested positive for COVID-19 and is now self-isolating.

"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."

Aides said the prince was found to be positive during a routine test – which suggested he was experiencing no strong symptoms – but they declined to go into further details on his medical condition.

Both he and his wife the Duchess of Cornwall have been taking regular tests before engagements - and it was later revealed Camilla, who has been carrying out engagements in London today, had tested negative.

Royal Cresent Bath

Exploring Bath's perfectly preserved Georgian architecture is probably the second best excuse to visit this beautiful city. A great place to start your adventure is the Museum of Bath Architecture, a unique facility located in a former private chapel that demonstrates how classical design influenced the city's buildings. It's also home to the incredibly detailed Bath Model, a magnificent 1:500 scale architectural model of the historic city center. Walk to the northwest section of the city, where most of the best architectural examples are found. Check out Queen Square and Gay Street, with their beautifully symmetrical façades dating from the early 18th century, then head to the Royal Circus, a perfect circle of three-story homes with different classical orders (column types) on each level. Finally, there's Royal Crescent, a monumental semicircular sweep of residential townhouses with a breathtakingly uniform, palace-like façade. No.1 Royal Crescent is open to the public (most homes on the crescent remain privately owned) and provides a rare glimpse into what life was like for the wealthy — along with their not-so-wealthy servants — in the 1770s. A variety of guided tours, educational events, and themed itineraries are available.

Longleat

Longleat is an English country house, currently the seat of the Marquesses of Bath, adjacent to the village of Horningsham and near the towns of Warminster in Wiltshire and Frome in Somerset. It is noted for its Elizabethan country house, maze, landscaped parkland and safari park. The house is set in over 900 acres (364 ha) of parkland, landscaped by Capability Brown, with 8,000 acres (32.37 km2) of woods and farmland. It was the first stately home to open to the public, and also claims the first safari park outside Africa. The house was built by Sir John Thynne, and designed mainly by Robert Smythson, after the original priory was destroyed by fire in 1567. It took 12 years to complete and is widely regarded as one of the finest examples of Elizabethan architecture in Britain. Longleat is currently occupied by Alexander Thynn, 7th Marquess of Bath, a direct descendant of the builder.
