After Prince Charles and his wife Camilla, Queen Elizabeth II also tested positive for Covid-19.

Buckingham Palace made it known, underlining that the English sovereign, 96 on April 21, has "mild symptoms similar to a cold". In the next few days, however, he will likely continue to fulfill his less demanding duties at Windsor.

The queen, as was suspected, tested positive after being in direct contact with her eldest son Carlo, who was infected for the second time by the virus. Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, was also infected.

Despite the clarification of the slight symptoms, the people are worried about Her Majesty, given the venerable age of the sovereign, who received the best wishes for a speedy recovery from Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
