Kate Middleton, the wife of Prince William, is in self-isolation after contact with a person infected with Corona
Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge and the wife of Britain's Prince William, has entered self-isolation and canceled her engagements after a person she had come into contact with tested positive for COVID-19, her office said Monday.
A Kensington Palace spokesman said: "Last week, the Duchess of Cambridge had contact with a person who later tested positive for Covid-19."
"Her Royal Highness is not feeling any symptoms, but she is following all relevant government guidelines and has gone into self-isolation at home," he added.
Kate, the grandson of Britain's Queen Elizabeth II, attended a number of events last week, the most important of which was the Wimbledon tennis tournament on Friday.
She was due to attend a party marking the 73rd anniversary of the founding of the British National Health Service today, Monday, with Prince William, who did not ask to prevent doctors from self-isolating.
William himself fell ill in April, around the same time as his father, Crown Prince Charles. The media said at the time that William's condition was bad.
