Sophie is self-isolating at home.
London:
Sophie, the British Countess of Wessex, wife of Queen Elizabeth’s youngest son Prince Edward, is self-isolating at home after coming into contact with someone who has since tested positive for COVID-19, Buckingham Palace said on Friday.
The royal, 55, has no symptoms but is following government guidelines, a palace spokesperson said. She has not been in contact with any other member of the large royal family since, he added.
In March, the Queen’s eldest son, heir to the throne, Prince Charles, tested positive for the virus and spent seven days in self-isolation.
He later said he was fortunate enough to have suffered only “relatively mild symptoms” and was now in good health.
Sophie, a former public relations manager, married Edward in 1999 and they have two children.
