Buckingham Palace has announced that King Charles III’s wife has tested positive for Covid-19 and has canceled all scheduled events for the week.

This is the second time Camila, 75, has contracted the coronavirus infection. The previous time was last year, after her husband had been infected earlier.

“Her Majesty the Royal Wife was diagnosed with Covid-19 after developing symptoms of a cold,” the statement said. “.

Camilla was Charles’ partner for several years before they finally got married in 2005. The then heir to the British throne was criticized by many in the UK for his relationship with Camilla Parker Bowles.

After the death of Queen Elizabeth, Charles succeeded to the throne from his mother, and Camilla assumed the title of royal consort in accordance with the wishes of the late monarch.

The official coronation ceremony for Charles III will take place on the morning of May 6 at Westminster Abbey, presided over by Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury, head of the Church of England. It is reported that royal consort Camilla will also wear the crown, but no details have been released yet.
