Warning to all as Prince Charles catches coronavirus amid ’queue jump’ claims – The Yorkshire Post says

Prince Charles tests positive for coronavirus, Clarence House confirms

His Royal Highness did no such thing. The Prince of Wales appears to have followed Government guidelines to the letter and was eligible for a NHS test because of his age – the heir to the throne is 71 and, therefore, deemed to be ‘at risk’.

The fact that he entrusted his care to the NHS is also another endorsement of hospital workers as they treat this contagious disease – he was clearly in the best possible hands before going into self-isolation at Birkhall, the Queen Mother’s former residence, in Scotland.
