Kate Middleton in Self-Isolation
The Duchess of Cambridge has been forced into self-isolation for 10 days after coming into contact with someone who later tested positive for coronavirus.
Kate, 39, had two engagements scheduled on Monday as she and Prince William were both meant to celebrate the 73rd anniversary of the NHS by attending the service of thanksgiving in St Paul’s Cathedral ahead of an NHS Big Tea at Buckingham Palace.
Kensington Palace said in a statement: “Last week The Duchess of Cambridge came into contact with someone who has subsequently tested positive for COVID-19.
“Her Royal Highness is not experiencing any symptoms, but is following all relevant government guidelines and is self-isolating at home.”
Prince William is still due at St Paul’s Cathedral on Monday morning as part of a day of thanks for the NHS for the hard work of staff during the COVID-19 pandemic, but Kate will have to miss out.
