London: <\/b><\/p>\n
Britain’s Queen Consort, Camilla, has tested positive for COVID-19, Buckingham Palace said on Monday.<\/p>\n
The 75-year-old wife of King Charles III was said to be suffering from a \u201cseasonal\u201d illness, but a positive Covid test has led to all her engagements for the week now being cancelled.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter suffering the symptoms of a cold, Her Majesty the Queen Consort has tested positive for the Covid virus,” the Buckingham Palace statement said.<\/p>\n
“With regret, she has therefore cancelled all her public engagements for this week and sends her sincere apologies to those who had been due to attend them,\u201d the statement added.<\/p>\n
The Queen was scheduled to carry out several engagements across the West Midlands region of England, including celebrating the centenary of Elmhurst Ballet School in Edgbaston, Birmingham.<\/p>\n
She was also set to visit the Southwater One Library in Telford to thank staff and representatives from outreach and voluntary groups for their contribution to the community.<\/p>\n
A Buckingham Palace spokesperson said it was hoped a new date could be found soon for the postponed events.<\/p>\n
Camilla contracted Covid early last year and was forced to cancel her appearance at several events.<\/p>\n
Charles also tested positive for the virus a few times over the past few years, with mild symptoms.\u00a0<\/p>\n
