The Queen Consort has tested positive for Covid-19 after suffering from the symptoms of a cold, Buckingham Palace has said.
Earlier on Monday, the Palace said Camilla had been forced to postpone a visit to the West Midlands on Tuesday after contracting a “seasonal” illness.
Camilla was due to visit Elmhurst Ballet School in Edgbaston, Birmingham to celebrate its centenary, and later that day a library in Telford to thank staff and representatives from outreach and voluntary groups for their contribution to the community.
A Buckingham Palace spokesperson said: “After suffering the symptoms of a cold, Her Majesty The Queen Consort has tested positive for the Covid virus.
“With regret, she has therefore cancelled all her public engagements for this week and sends her sincere apologies to those who had been due to attend them.”
