Prince William infected
Print Edition
Britain鈥檚 Prince William contracted COVID-19 in April at a similar time to his father, the heir-to-the-throne Prince Charles, a source close to his Kensington Palace office said.
William, 38, grandson of Queen Elizabeth and second-in-line to the British throne, kept his diagnosis a secret because he did not want to alarm the country, said The Sun newspaper, which first reported the news.
鈥淭here were important things going on and I didn鈥檛 want to worry anyone,鈥 William was quoted by the newspaper as having told an observer at an engagement.
He was treated by palace doctors and followed government guidelines by isolating at his family鈥檚 home Anmer Hall, in Norfolk in eastern England, the newspaper said, adding he had still carried out 14 telephone and video call engagements during April.
鈥淲illiam was hit pretty hard by the virus 鈥 it really knocked him for six. At one stage he was struggling to breathe, so obviously everyone around him was pretty panicked,鈥 an unnamed source told The Sun.
Kensington Palace declined to comment on the news.
