Duchess of Cornwall

Prince Charles tested positive test for coronavirus, the island's media reported.

The 71-year-old prince has mild symptoms of COVID-19, ""but otherwise remains in good health", a spokesman said, adding that the Duchess of Cornwall, 72, has been tested but does not have the virus. He's been working from home for the past few days, as usual, his spokeswoman said.

The recent visit to Greece by Charles, Prince of Wales, and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, was a significant moment in the long and turbulent relations between Greece and the UK, as very few high-ranking British officials have visited our country in recent decades. So the visit by the heir to the throne of the United Kingdom was of great historical and symbolic importance.

The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall strolled through central Athens on their way to visit the 11th century Byzantine church of Panagia Kapnikarea on Thursday, after the former's meeting with Archbishop Ieronymos at the Archbishopric of Athens, in the second day of the royal couple's official visit to Greece.

While Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras welcomed the Prince of Wales at Maximos Mansion on Wednesday, his partner Betty Baziana escorted Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, through the Benaki Museum in central Athens.

Camilla was reportedly particularly interested in the ornate Byzantine icons and ancient jewelry exhibited in the museum.

The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall have arrived in Athens for an official visit that will run through Friday.

The couple was received at the airport by Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Terence Quick.

This is Prince Charles's second official visit to Greece.

As Britain tries to soften up its European partners ahead of the start of tough Brexit negotiations, the UK government is deploying one of its trustiest weapons - the royal family.

Britain's Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall were on Friday seen off by Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic at the Nikola Tesla Airport.

"We said farewell to Prince Charles & the Duchess of Cornwall. Thank you for visiting Serbia! We expect you soon," read a posting on the prime minister's official Twitter account, written in English and in Serbian.

Britain's Prince Charles on Thursday evening attended and addressed a reception at the Serbian National Assembly in Belgrade.

The reception was given in his and Duchess of Cornwall Camilla's honor.
