Duchess Kate in isolation

Kensington Palace has made the announcement that the Duchess Kate is in isolation after she came into contact with a person with a positive COVID-19 diagnosis.

The royal will no longer be able to go to the thanksgiving service at St Paul's Cathedral or a tea party at Buckingham Palace with the Duke of Cambridge to mark the NHS' 73rd anniversary on Monday.

A spokesperson said: "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."

The Duchess of Cambridge has received both vaccines, however she was put straight into self-isolation after she received word she came across a positive case.

Kate’s last public outing was to Wimbledon on Friday, where she watched matches on one of the outer courts.

Prince William contracted Covid last spring but thankfully was able to carry on with telephone and online engagements.
