Prince Charles ,diagnosed with Coronavirus

Sorry to read this. He's fit, has looked after himself and had good medical care, which he'll be getting now. Why on earth wouldn't he be give a test? Of course, they should be available for medical and other key workers but how anyone could begrudge PC a test is beyond me.
He is surrounded by staff. How recently has he seen his parents. Wouldn't it be great if we all had the same care but we don't.

maybe because of his age he was tested.

I too wish PC all the best and speedy recovery and I do not think this is the time to post nasty comments. I cannot understand why anyone would show such insensitivity at another person's misfortune or sickness - does not matter who he is.

There aren’t any supermarkets near Balmoral so Camilla won’t be shopping in them, Anniebach. The RF use the same shops as I do, small businesses and companies. I’ve also used the same gardeners and the same cleaners as the RF.

I wish any-and-everyone who has this virus a swift return to good health.

As I posted earlier, he was tested because he was in contact with someone (Prince Albert of Monaco) who later tested positive

I’ve never commented like this before on GN but always a first time for everything.
There are always those on this forum, who take any opportunity to be unpleasant and, yes, hateful about anything or anyone with whom they disagree. Sad, bitter people . I’d wish no one any harm from this horrendous virus whether I agreed, disagreed, liked or disliked them.
(I believe the RF and many others relocated before the Govt decision on staying put)

RIverwalk, I live in an area of 2nd home owners,some of them have arrived and behaved appallingly. They did not stay in side their homes, they were swigging drinks on terraces, on beaches, strolling ( strutting) around with out a care for anyone except themselves.

Why are some of you so nasty. This is a 70 year old man who is ill, he is as vulnerable as the next elderly person.
I for one wish him well, as I would anyone who has this dreadful disease.

WHY would he take his virusand his staff to an area where the number of cases is relatively low .Surely if he has it his staff are in danger of getting it too.That will put others in the cmmunity at risk ,Sure he wont go out or deal with the tradespeople but the folk who are looking after him will have to.Bloody selfish entitled excuse for a man .Should have stayed at his MAIN residence .Like the rest of the country is being told .

He & others will be dammed if they do & dammed if they don’t.
It is possible to attribute good & bad motives to anyone whom we don’t personally know, we do it on here on a regular basis.
At the end of the day most folks who care about other folks will do their best to comply with the advice given.
Unfortunately as I said down post , the area I live in has been flooded with the ‘ don’t cares ‘ who are Not staying inside their holiday homes.

The elite will always have more money and privileges than the rest of us. That’s just life. They are like the queen bees in a hive and we the worker bees.
?

I hope as I would with anyone that he makes a full recovery.

Everyone was told not to leave London for second homes in the country. Now Aberdeenshire has another patient to contend with.

When did the Duke say that ?

paddyanne He moved before he was tested positive - still if he had stayed where he was he would no doubt be accused of putting that community at risk. I am no fan of Prince Charles but I really don't understand how anyone can be so unpleasant towards someone with this awful virus.

If PC had stayed put, the comments would have been about him being selfish for not buggering off out of the way.( Especially because he can)
Perhaps they all have a better chance of avoiding / spreading it by decamping.
Anyone who is not keen on the RF is going to view them & their actions negatively. Ie , if he stayed no doubt that would have been criticised.

The usual nasty posters here spouting their disapproval. The Queen is very elderly and Charles is next in line to the throne, so it's quite right he and his family should be tested. I wish him the very best for a quick recovery. It's early days though ?

I do not like Prince Charles. I think he is very hypocritical. However, I do not wish him ill and I hope that he recovers from the virus which could turn out nasty for him. He is second in line to the throne and as such is entitled to special consideration. He picked up this virus doing his job as a senior royal, one which he has had to spend more time on since Harry bu****ed off out of it. I wonder how Harry feels now?

I wonder if P.William helped with the decision, I doubt that he is in a hurry to take over.

Well I’m sure Harry is as worried as anyone about a parent who is ill. The fact that he is not in the U.K. is immaterial. He wouldn’t be allowed to visit anyway.

What is more pertinent is that he had contact with his Mother on th 12th of this month; possibly his father. They are very vulnerable.

If Harry has concerns for his father he wouldn’t have left the country and his royal duties to fall on his father and brother.

Perhaps Megan will write on a banana and have a jet fly it to
Charles

Annie

How ridiculous to suggest he has no concern for his father’s illness. Loads of people live in different countries to their parents.
