Britain’s Prince Charles has tested positive for coronavirus, becoming the first member of the Royal family to contract the deadly illness.

In a statement on Tuesday, Clarence House said the 71-year-old heir of the throne was diagnosed with COVID-19 after displaying "mild symptoms" on Sunday.

"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,” the statement read.

Prince Charles's wife, Duchess of Cornwall, tested negative for the illness but both have decided to self-isolate. "The Duchess of Cornwall has also been tested but does not have the virus. In accordance with government and medical advice, the Prince and the Duchess are now self-isolating at home in Scotland.”

"It is not possible to ascertain from whom the Prince caught the virus owing to the high number of engagements he carried out in his public role during recent weeks."

Prince Charles, who is the Queen’s son, is first in line to the British throne.

    Just like Madonna said: "The CoronaVirus is the Great EQUALIZER. .... That's the thing about Covid-19. .... It doesn't care about how rich you are, how famous you are, how funny you are, how smart you are, where you live, how old you are, what amazing stories you can tell."

    Who is Diana to you? She died in a car crash and wasn't wearing a seat belt. What does that have to do with him or you?

    We are indeed all created by one God. So a Chinese eating snakes and bats in Wuhan can contract a virus from his diet, and it ends up in the bloodstream of the future King of England, whose tongue knows nothing, but the finest food? What are the chances of that happening?

    Am beginning to think the British government has been taking money from its former colonies to finance their country.

    Mmmhhh.... we must change this.
