Camilla, Queen Consort, tests positive for COVID-19, a year after the last time she had the virus

• Camilla, Queen Consort and wife of King Charles III, has tested positive for COVID-19.
• Buckingham Palace confirmed the test result on Monday.

Camilla, Queen Consort, has tested positive for COVID-19, according to Buckingham Palace, almost exactly one year after she last tested positive for the virus.

"After suffering the symptoms of a cold, Her Majesty The Queen Consort has tested positive for the Covid virus," Buckingham Palace said in a statement shared with Insider. "With regret, she has therefore cancelled all her public engagements for this week and sends her sincere apologies to those who had been due to attend them."

Camilla, 75, was scheduled to visit Elmhurst Ballet School in Birmingham, Telford's Southwater One Library, and join her husband, King Charles III, for an appearance in Milton Keynes, according to People magazine.

She has maintained a busy schedule of royal engagements since becoming Queen Consort. On Wednesday, Camilla and Charles planted a tree in London's Altab Ali Park, named for a British Bangladeshi man who was murdered there in 1978, and met with members of the local Bangladeshi community. On Thursday, Camilla visited the STORM Family Center to mark the domestic-violence charity's 19th anniversary.

Camilla previously tested positive for the virus on February 14, 2022 — almost exactly one year ago, minus one day. At that time, Charles, who was then Prince of Wales, had also contracted COVID.

This time around, Buckingham Palace has not yet said if Charles, 74, has taken a test. The palace did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

The BBC reported last year that Camilla had received COVID-19 vaccine shots at least three times.
