Alwaght- British Queen Elizabeth II tested positive for COVID-19 on Sunday and is experiencing mild symptoms, Buckingham Palace said.
The world's longest-reigning monarch, 95, had been in direct contact with her eldest son and heir, the Prince of Wales, the week he had the disease.
“Her Majesty is experiencing mild cold-like symptoms but expects to continue light duties at Windsor over the coming week. She will continue to receive medical attention and will follow all the appropriate guidelines," the statement said.
Her first major public engagement for more than three months was held on Saturday 5 February, the eve of her jubilee, when she met charity workers at Sandringham House, cut a celebratory cake and used a walking stick to rest on.
The Queen is understood to be triple vaccinated but she had been on doctors’ orders to rest since mid October, after cancelling a run of engagements and spending a night in hospital undergoing preliminary tests.
She is believed to have spent time with Charles on Tuesday 8 February, when he hosted an investiture at Windsor Castle. A few days later he tested positive for Covid but made a quick recovery to full health.
