Queen Elizabeth II has tested positive for Covid-19

Buckingham Palace has revealed Queen Elizabeth II has tested positive for Covid-19.

The 95-year-old monarch is reportedly experiencing mild, cold-like symptoms and plans to carry on working.

The palace said the Queen, who has been fully vaccinated and had a booster shot, would continue with "light" duties at Windsor Castle over the coming week.

"She will continue to receive medical attention and will follow all the appropriate guidelines," the palace said in a statement.

People in the UK who test positive for Covid are required to self-isolate for at least five days, although the British government says it plans to lift that requirement for England this week.

Both the Queen's eldest son Prince Charles, 73, and her 74-year-old daughter-in-law Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall contracted Covid-19 earlier this month.

Charles has since returned to work. There are also thought to be several recent virus cases among staff at Windsor Castle, where the Queen is staying.

We're wishing the Queen a speedy recovery!
