He has been displaying mild symptoms.” The statement goes on to relate that his wife Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, “has also been tested but does not have the virus. In accordance with government and medical advice, the Prince and Duchess are now self-isolating at home in Scotland. The tests were carried out by the NHS in Aberdeenshire where they met the criteria required for testing.”

Queen Elizabeth plans to ‘keep calm and carry on’ during coronavirus

Report: Prince Andrew reportedly let a supermodel sit on the Queen’s throne at Buckingham Palace

From a report at the link below:

Prince Andrew tried to woo an American supermodel with dates in Buckingham Palace — even letting her sit on his mom the Queen’s throne, a report said Sunday.

The royal — long-dubbed “Randy Andy” in his homeland — went on a series of dates in 2000 with model Caprice Bourret, a household name in the UK who recently starred in the reality TV show “Dancing On Ice.”

She ultimately “ghosted” the prince because she “didn’t fancy him,” friends told The Sun on Sunday — but not before she was allowed to take a keepsake while being wined and dined in the palace.

“He took her to Buckingham Palace twice, and on one occasion she sat on the Queen’s throne,” a source close to Caprice told the UK paper. “She spotted a bowl she liked and asked Andrew if she could steal it and [mail] it to her mom. She claims that he let her, and her mom loved it!”

Caprice — who also dated rocker Rod Stewart — always treated her dates with Andrew as platonic, the source claims.

Property Tax Reduction Consultants CEO Sean Acosta suspects that Harry has never seen a tax bill, he said the duo can lean on their philanthropy background in what could be their first post-Megxit gig.

Do they know anything about tax consulting? Do they know anything about earning money in the real world?

Meghan Markle ‘troubled’ by ‘ultimate embarrassing uncle’ Prince Andrew

Meghan Markle was long “troubled” by disgraced royal Prince Andrew — and is glad to be free of “the ultimate embarrassing uncle,” it was claimed Thursday.

Meghan Markle - Prince Andrew

“Meghan is not enamored of Andrew at all,” a royal source told the Sun.

“Put it this way, she doesn’t view Andrew as one of the family’s great assets and he’s not going to be one of the people she’s going to miss on her time away from the Windsors,” the source said of Markle’s new life in Canada after quitting the royal family with husband Prince Harry.

The relationship never took off, according to the report, with Markle telling friends that Andrew “wasn’t exactly welcoming to her” and was “stuffy and pompous.”

Andrew also “kept on making awful, childish jokes — which he seemed to find hilarious,” Markle reportedly complained to pals.
