Camilla, Duchess Of Cornwall Reveals She's Still Feeling Lingering Symptoms Of COVID-19: 'I Might Start Coughing & Spluttering'
It's been almost one month since Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall tested positive for COVID, and it looks like she is still dealing with the aftermath.
While at an event on Tuesday, March 8, the royal, 74, revealed what lingering symptoms she has.
"It's taken three weeks and still can't get shot of it," she said, Hello! magazine reported. "Probably my voice might suddenly go, and I might start coughing and spluttering."
Camilla contracted the virus just four days after her husband, Prince Charles, got the disease. "Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall has tested positive for COVID-19 and is self-isolating. We continue to follow government guidelines," a spokesperson for Clarence House said in a statement at the time.
Shortly after, Queen Elizabeth also fell ill with the virus. “Buckingham Palace confirm that the Queen has today tested positive for Covid,” the palace announced. “Her Majesty is experiencing mild, cold-like symptoms but expects to continue light duties at Windsor over the coming week. She will continue to receive medical attention and will follow all the appropriate guidelines.”
Despite not feeling the best, the Queen, 95, made sure to carry on with her duties.
“Of course, she has a team of doctors to lean on whenever needed and a support staff that’s second to none,” the source explained. “But thus far Her Majesty has been handling this without any fuss or need to involve too many others in her recovery.”
“She’s showed extraordinary courage and is thankful for all the love and support she’s received, and as long as she feels able to work that’s what she’ll continue to [do],” the source added. “It’s typical of her selfless character and everyone is just in awe of her resolve and bravery. She’s truly one of a kind and an example to everyone around her.”
Now, it seems like the monarch is feeling good, as she hosted Justin Trudeau earlier this week at Windsor Castle.
