Prince Charles has tested positive for coronavirus, COVID-19, according to Sky News.

 

Charles, 71, is the heir to the British throne. 

 

 

 

That sucks, get well soon.

Oh dear, poor old Charlie. Hope he pulls through OK.

His consort Camilla has tested negative.

Future king. Mild symptoms apparently and he will have the best care

Certainly in the wrong demographic that's for sure, but he will get the very best medical care and advice available as heir to the throne.

 

Bummer.

I know not much about him really, I am not British.

But, he has been around since I can remember.

I hope he is OK and gets thru this successfully.

Let's hope he hasn't been in contact with his mother or father lately.

Be a sad headline 'China kills Charlie'

71 - not a good age demographic to be in when the CV arrives...

 

Official statement not giving a lot away at the moment and any questions about any recent contact the Queen may have had with Charles are being batted away .. He and Camilla are at Balmoral while her Majesty is at Windsor Castle .. Quite likely this will unfurl more during the day .. 

 

Stay away from mum and dad please Chiller.

Now all other news here taken over by him corona for everyone else has been relegated to just get on with it and for all other oldies to be forced into DNR being implemented????

Well one things for sure they won't be taking him off a ventilator to give it to a young 'un

Just been on Sky News that he last saw his mother on the 12th of March.

He only eats bread with olive oil, never butter. 

 

All his chocolate biscuits are organic Duchy Originals.

 

He goes horse-riding in the fresh air.

 

If any 71 year old will beat the virus, it will be this one.

 

Get well soon Charles.

do feel sorry for him.... royals and/or peasants we are all people, we all pee, poop and fart the same way and when shxx hits the fan, unfortunately,  we all get a piece of it,.... wish him and anyone infected a speedy recovery

if they calculated his "value," he would be worth about 1 billion people from poor countries.  

 

i hope he recovers, and it's a good thing he's super rich.  it will help a lot.  we'll see how much.

Yes BBC 24 correspondent quoting same and also stating Her Majesty left for Windsor about 10 days ago and is said to be practicing all the hygiene guidelines but with their prominence this will tracked closely by the media as to whether other members of the Firm may have contracted it ..

The headline might be changed to 'China kills royal family of Britain'. What about the queen?

Yes, with royal family the show must go on. Just a few days ago I saw a video of him practicing 'social distancing' by using 'namaste or a wai as we know it at a reception, rather than shaking hands. So he was trying. Just shows how easy it is to be caught out.

Love the Brit Royal Family. What's to dislike???

"The glories of our blood and state

are shadows, not substantial things

there is no armour against Fate

Death lays his icy hand on kings

 

Sceptre and crown,

Must tumble down

And in the dust be equal made

With the poor crooked scythe and spade"

I don't care for Harry or Meghan. But Charles is a sharp dresser. I got some Persol shades thanks to his trail-blazing style.

 

So obviously I feel a strong connection.

"he would be worth about 1 billion people from poor countries"

 

Oooops... thats his 'worth'? Whats the formula? And you are serious? So, poor people are worthless? Is this a human who is thinking?

Not quite as bad, I would suggest, if you are heir to the British throne.

 

 

 

Let's hear it for the bearded one and his American wife.

Link? Everyone else has no idea where he contacted it from.

 

Here's one if it helps. It doesn't confirm, but it's a bit of coincidence.
