Britain's Prince Charles has tested positive for coronavirus.

Clarence House confirmed that the 71-year-old royal has shown "mild symptoms but otherwise remains in good health and has been working from home throughout the last few days as usual".

Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall are now self-isolating at their home in Scotland.

The Duchess has tested negative for the virus, the statement said, adding that it was "not possible to ascertain from whom the Prince caught the virus owing to the high number of engagements he carried out in his public role during recent weeks".
