Prince Charles tests positive for Covid-19 for a second time

Prince Charles tests positive for Covid-19 for a second time

PRINCE CHARLES has tested positive for COVID-19, his office said on Thursday (10), the second time he has contracted the disease.

"This morning The Prince of Wales has tested positive for Covid-19 and is now self-isolating," Clarence House said, adding he had cancelled his planned engagements for later in the day.


There was no immediate comment on his condition.

Charles, 73, who said in December both he and his wife Camilla had received their Covid vaccine booster shots, previously tested positive in March 2020 when he said he had been "lucky" to have suffered only mild symptoms.

He spent seven days in self-isolation at his Birkhall home in Scotland before resuming his duties.

Last night (9), he attended a reception for the British Asian Trust where guests included chancellor Rishi Sunak and home secretary Priti Patel.

Cost of living keeps couples together as divorces after 20 years rise

  • Divorces after 20 years of marriage accounted for 26 per cent of opposite-sex cases in England and Wales last year.
  • The average marriage ending in divorce lasted 13 years, the longest since records began in 1963.
  • Lawyers say the cost of running two households can discourage couples from separating.

The seven-year itch may be fading as a defining feature of marriage breakdown, with official figures showing that couples in England and Wales are now more likely to divorce after 20 years together than at any other point in their marriage.

Office for National Statistics (ONS) figures show that 26 per cent of the 102,879 opposite-sex divorces recorded in England and Wales last year involved couples who had been married for at least 20 years.
