Clarence House confirmed that Prince Charles tested positive for coronavirus on Tuesday, and while his wife Camilla has been given the all-clear, the pair have been self-isolating at their Scottish home, Birkhall, on the Queen's Balmoral estate. Charles inherited the 18th century property from the Queen Mother, when she died in 2002, and often spends summers there with Camilla. The couple even spent their honeymoon there in 2005, so it holds fond memories for them.
