The media outlet decided to kept the news a secret in an attempt to avoid alarming the public. It is quite impressive that during this critical time, William carried out 14 official engagements while isolating. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge carried out their duties remotely during this time, with the Duke working over the telephone and video meetings.

Prince Charles informed his sons of his tests results over the phone after testing positive. Clarence House announced the news on March 25 with a statement that read: “The Prince of Wales has tested positive for Coronavirus. He has been displaying mild symptoms but otherwise remains in good health and has been working from home throughout the last few days as usual.”
Ever since Charles tested positive for COVID-19, royal fans have been speculating whether the 71-year-old future King contracted the novel coronavirus from Prince Albert.
