Prince Harry’s father, the Duke of Wales, contracted COVID-19 back in March of this year. According to royal insiders Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand and authors of Finding Freedom, a new biography of Harry and Meghan Markle, Harry called his father immediately once he heard about the diagnosis. Prince Harry had recently moved to Los Angeles with his wife Meghan and son. The couple had recently left their roles as senior members of the British Royal Family.
Prince Charles became one of the most prominent figures in the U.K. to contract COVID-19. He was 71 at the time of the diagnosis and considered to be a high-risk patient due to his age. The Prince had attended public engagements a couple of weeks prior to the diagnosis.
Harry learned about the diagnosis on March 24 when he received a call from the palace. He was told his father had tested positive for coronavirus and was headed into isolation with his wife, Camilla.
Despite the risk of complications due to his age, Prince Charles only displayed mild symptoms. He was able to recover and self-isolate at home.
Prince Harry regularly checked in on his father until he was out of quarantine and recovered. Despite the upheaval, he and Meghan caused by Megxit, it doesn't change his concern for his family.
