The Prince of Wales tested positive for the virus in late March โ€“ just a couple of days after another royal, Prince Albert of Monaco also tested positive.

The diagnosis was met with alarm by many royal watchers โ€“ Charles is 71-years-old, and as the stats have shown, the illness is known to hit those in the older age bracket hardest.

Luckily, it seems Charles has now made a full recovery after the Palace confirmed on Monday that he was now out of self-isolation.

โ€œClarence House has confirmed today that, having consulted with his doctor, the Prince of Wales is now out of self-isolation,โ€ a statement from the Princeโ€™s staffers read.

And to reassure us even further, the Prince has now shared a rare video from his Scottish home, Birkhall, where he opens up about his experience with the illness, as well as how important it is to care for the elderly at this time.

Charles explains in the video that he was lucky to have only suffered mild symptoms, but that the crisis is a โ€œstrange, frustrating experienceโ€.

โ€œHaving recently gone through the process of contracting this coronavirus, luckily with relatively mild symptoms, I now find myself on the other side of the illness but still in no less a state of social distance and general isolation,โ€™ he explained.

He continued: โ€œAs patron of Age UK, and my wife as patron of Silver Line, our hearts go out to all those older people throughout this country who are now experiencing great difficulty.โ€
