The United Kingdom’s (UK) Queen Elizabeth II tested positive for Covid-19 on Sunday, said the Buckingham Palace.
According to the Palace, the 95-year-old monarch is experiencing “mild cold-like symptoms”.
It was confirmed she had been in direct contact with her eldest son and heir, the Prince of Wales, who himself tested positive for the virus last week.
Previously, it was confirmed that the Queen is fully vaccinated against Covid-19.
The news came forward only a few weeks after the Queen reached her platinum jubilee of 70 years on the throne on February 6.
Following the announcement, well wishes from the public and politicians started coming in.
British Prime Minister (PM) Boris Johnson said, “I’m sure I speak for everyone in wishing Her Majesty The Queen a swift recovery from Covid and a rapid return to vibrant good health.”
Labour Party’s London Mayor Sadiq Khan tweeted, “The commitment Her Majesty the Queen has shown to our country continues to be unwavering. Wishing her a swift and safe recovery from Covid-19.”
