THE QUEEN, who is triple vaccinated, has tested positive for Covid after suffering from mild cold-like symptoms, palace officials say.
Her Majesty is expected to hold a telephone audience with the Prime Minister and will conduct virtual audiences this week as she carries on with light duties despite catching Covid.
The 95-year-old monarch, who is experiencing mild cold-like symptoms, is self-isolating at Windsor Castle, where a number of her team have also been hit by the virus.
Doctors are on standby to offer Her Majesty round the clock care should she need it, although as things stand she is only experiencing mild cold-like symptoms and expects to continue light duties at Windsor in days.
The news comes after the Queen had come into direct contact with Prince Charles during the same week he tested positive for the virus.
Buckingham Palace said in a statement: “Buckingham Palace confirm that The Queen has today tested positive for Covid.
“She will continue to receive medical attention and will follow all the appropriate guidelines.”
