Prince Charles Says He Lost Sense Of Taste And Smell After Having Coronavirus

Prince Charles is currently recovering from coronavirus (COVID-19). The 71-year-old recently opened up about some of his symptoms. He said he is still recovering from his loss of taste and smell. Charles contracted coronavirus in mid-March but had a relatively mild case.

“He [Prince Charles] did speak of his personal experience, so first-hand experience for him,” health care assistant Jeff Wall said. “He also spoke about his loss of smell and taste and, sort of, still felt he’s still got it now.”

After being diagnosed with coronavirus, Charles self-isolated for a week in his home in Scotland. His wife Camilla was also on the property, but she stayed in another part of the home while he recovered. Both were seen for the first time in weeks at a hospital to thank essential workers in the healthcare industry. They met with staff using social distancing practices.
