Britain’s Prince William contracted Covid-19 in April at a similar time to his father Prince Charles, British media reported late on Sunday, citing Kensington Palace sources.
William, grandson of Queen Elizabeth and second-in-line to the British throne, kept his diagnosis a secret because he did not want to alarm the country, The Sun newspaper reported.
“There were important things going on and I didn’t want to worry anyone,” William was quoted by the newspaper as having told an observer at an engagement.
He was treated by palace doctors and followed government guidelines by isolating at the family home Anmer Hall, in Norfolk, the newspaper said, adding he still carried out 14telephone and video call engagements during April.
The BBC also confirmed the news from sources late on Sunday,with Kensington Palace and the office of Prince William refusing to comment officially to the news outlet. The palace was not immediately available for comment late on Sunday.
The residence of William’s father, Prince Charles, had said on March 25 that Charles tested positive for the coronavirus. The heir to the throne had self-isolated at his residence in Scotland for seven days with mild symptoms.
Britain has been hit hard by the coronavirus outbreak and has reported 46 717 Covid-19 deaths – defined as those dying within 28 days of a positive test.
