Prince William Tested Positive for COVID-19 Earlier This Year and Had ‘Fairly Significant Symptoms’

Prince William knows the effects of COVID-19 firsthand. ET has learned that the 38-year-old royal and father of three contracted the coronavirus back in April but kept it private.

A source tells William had “fairly significant symptoms.”

Kensington Palace sources confirmed to the news organization that William was diagnosed with COVID-19 shortly after his father, Prince Charles, was diagnosed with the illness.

William reportedly refrained from revealing his diagnosis out of concern that it would alarm the nation during an already challenging time.
