The U.K.’s Prince Charles has tested positive for COVID-19 and is self-isolating, his office said Thursday.
A statement posted on Charles’ official Twitter account said the heir to the British throne was “deeply disappointed” that he could not attend events in Winchester, where he was set to unveil a statue of Licoricia of Winchester. He will look to reschedule his visit as soon as possible, the statement said.
On Wednesday night Charles met dozens of people, including U.K. Chancellor Rishi Sunak and Home Secretary Priti Patel, during a reception at the British Museum.
The 73-year-old had previously contracted the coronavirus in March 2020. Charles said in December that he had already received his coronavirus booster jab.
