COVID-19 is spreading across the planet, affecting every part of the world. And no one is immune from it. Including members of the British royal family.

The Prince of Wales, Prince Charles, has tested positive for COVID-19, and, as he’s the heir to the throne, this is quite serious.

The fact that Prince Charles was tested despite only suffering from mild symptoms, has caused some controversy. As most people of his age cannot secure a COVID-19 test.

However, I would remind those nitpickers that Prince Charles is next in line to the throne, and so the preferential treatment is justified.
