A royal insider claims that Prince Charles may have been in contact with The Queen while infected with coronavirus.
ITV’s royal correspondent Chris Ship said the issue was “too close for comfort” and that the Prince of Wales was diagnosed with COVID-19 just 12 hours after meeting with his mother.

He told ITV’s Royal Rota: “It is only a day’s difference! The day before he was at Buckingham Palace, he was seeing the Queen.
“12 to 24 hours later he becomes infectious. I don’t think you can rule out on medical grounds that he wasn’t infectious on the 12th when he saw the Queen.
” A little too close for comfort for me.”
What’s more, Charles also met with the Queen and several other royal family members at a Commonwealth Service on March 9.
Clarence House confirmed the shock news about Charles last week via a statement.
“The Prince of Wales has tested positive for Coronavirus,” the statement revealed.
“He has been displaying mild symptoms but otherwise remains in good health and has been working from home throughout the last few days as usual. In accordance with Government and medical advice, the Prince and the Duchess are now self-isolating at home in Scotland.”
“The tests were carried out by the NHS in Aberdeenshire where they met the criteria required for testing,” the statement read.
His wife Camilla, 72, tested negative for the virus.
