Queen Elizabeth II has tested positive for the coronavirus.
The 95-year-old queen, whose reign began in 1952, is suffering “mild cold-like symptoms” but will continue “light duties” at Windsor Castle this week, the palace said, according to the BBC.
“She will continue to receive medical attention and will follow all the appropriate guidelines,” the palace statement said.
Prince Charles, 73, met with the queen last Tuesday, two days before he tested positive for the virus.
On Wednesday, the queen noted during a meeting that age might be slowing her down.
Holding onto a walking stick as she stood while meeting defense ministers, she gestured to her left leg and said, “Well, as you can see, I can’t move.”
The Duchess of Cornwall, 74, who is the wife of Prince Charles, tested positive for the virus last week as well.
Prince Charles had tested positive for the virus once before.
Should the Royal family continue to exist in this modern era?
