Kate Middleton, the wife of Britain’s Prince William, had to self-isolate after coming into contact with a person who tested positive for the coronavirus. So the Duchess of Cambridge will have to give up several visits in the coming days.
Kensington Palace has announced that Kate herself has no symptoms. It’s just a precaution. The Duchess’ calendar, who was still present at Wimbledon on Friday, should be emptied in the next few days.
The Duchess has been vaccinated twice, but in the UK the advice currently applies to self-isolating when coming into contact with someone with coronavirus.
Kate could have been informed late Friday that the person in question had been infected, after which she was immediately isolated. It is not known whether the Duchess received the news from the person himself or through the NHS. In the latter case, she will have to self-isolate for ten days.
Her husband is leaving on Monday. The prince himself had not been in contact with the infected person.
Prince Charles, Kate’s father-in-law, contracted the infection in 2020. He had mild symptoms, but later said he still had problems with smell and taste.
