The Prince of Wales has tested positive for COVID-19 and is now self-isolating, Clarence House has said, in spite of being triple-jabbed, religiously observing mask mandates and having had it before. MailOnline has more.
Aides said the prince was found to be positive during a routine test – which suggested he was experiencing no strong symptoms – but they declined to go into further details on his medical condition.
A message on the prince’s official Twitter page read: “This morning The Prince of Wales has tested positive for COVID-19 and is now self-isolating.
“HRH is deeply disappointed not to be able to attend today’s events in Winchester and will look to reschedule his visit as soon as possible.”
Both he and the Duchess of Cornwall have been taking regular tests before engagements and Clarence House said Camilla had a negative test on Thursday. Under current Covid rules, although she lives with Charles, Camilla is not required to self-isolate as she is also fully vaccinated.
A spokesman added: “The Duchess of Cornwall has routinely tested negative today. She is on a separate series of engagements from the Prince of Wales.”
While in the past, Covid rules would have dictated that all those who had come into contact with the prince must self-isolate, it is no longer a requirement.
It comes a day after Boris Johnson announced he plans to axe all virus restrictions in England by the end of the month which would mean even those who have tested positive for the virus will not be required to self-isolate, “provided the current encouraging trends in the data continue”.

Stop Press: Wales’s First Minister Mark Drakeford has also tested positive for coronavirus and is self-isolating, the Welsh government has said. Like Prince Charles, he’s been triple-jabbed and is a fanatical mask wearer. BBC News has more.

Ukraine has lost more than 40% of land it captured in Russia’s Kursk
There was only ever one reason for Ukraine’s invasion of Russia (the only invasion of a nuclear power, ever): attrition.
Putin panicked and made yet another strategic mistake by telling his own people that the Ukrainian forces would be dislodged from Kursk by October 1 of this year.
Recent polls show that trust in Putin has fallen precipitously in the wake of the Kursk offensive.
Summary of Biden’s performance re Ukraine:
Ukrainian troops can stop Russian attacks when they have enough firepower: artillery, artillery shells, long-range air defense systems.
From December 2023 to May 2024 the US halted all arms transfers to Ukraine. The correlation to the US halt of arms deliveries and greater Russian battlefield success is direct and substantial.
At the outset of the Russian invasion, the Biden administration advised the Zelensky government to evacuate the Ukrainian capital, possibly to set up a government-in-exile in Lviv or Poland. Senior US officials predicted Ukrainian resistance would collapse in a matter of week.
History will not be kind to President Biden.
Likely performance of President Trump:
‘When President Trump assumes office, as happened during his first term, his pre-election promises on foreign policy often have to change according to new realities.
During his first term, he initially expressed a desire to avoid confrontation with Russia and President Putin. However, he became the first U.S. president to approve the transfer of Javelin anti-tank missiles to Ukraine, which was absolutely essential in stopping Russia’s initial attack on Kyiv back in February 2022.
Had the Biden administration provided tanks, HIMARS, ATACMS, expanded-range ATACMS, and F-16s earlier—two years ago, for instance—this war could already have ended, with Russia forced to make peace.’
So President Trump knows what to do…..and it is already happening……..
‘The “Victory Plan” will develop Ukraine’s vast resource wealth, rebuild the country, pay back its allies, and serve as a security guarantee.
President Volodymyr Zelensky wants American businesses to invest in his country’s natural resources, worth $26 trillion, equivalent to Canada’s or Australia’s mineral wealth. Zelensky also pledges that Ukraine’s military will help protect Europe’s security after the war.
Ideally, a Marshall Plan using $350 billion of frozen Russian assets will also help rebuild Ukraine
Ukraine has more uranium than any country in Europe, the second largest natural gas reserves in Europe, titanium, lithium, beryllium, manganese, gallium, uranium, zirconium, graphite, apatite, fluorite, and nickel. Ukraine holds the largest titanium reserves in Europe, accounting for 7% of the world’s reserves and almost 500,000 tons of lithium. There’s also enough oil and gas in Ukraine to meet the needs of Europe and shut Russian energy out of the region altogether.
Kyiv will shut China out of future sales and development inside Ukraine
Kyiv’s other offer to President Trump is that Ukrainian soldiers replace American ones posted at NATO bases across Europe. This would save the US billions, and their cost would be borne by European nations, which have benefited more than any other region from Ukraine’s sacrifices.
The “Victory Plan” will develop Ukraine’s vast resource wealth, rebuild the country, pay back its allies, and serve as a security guarantee.’

President Trump is all about winning. During the Trump Presidency, Ukraine will win.
Lol… The ” Victory Plan”.. Yes, who for……………….
Blackrock /Vanguard et al who will sweep it all up, all part of the plan. Ukraine will become some despot trial country with Digi Ids and a CBDC
You really have no idea Monro, you absorb the msm narrative like a sponge….
“There was only ever one reason for Ukraine’s invasion of Russia”…. Yes there was, it was called NATO
Evidence free rants add nothing to the debate.
The idea that NATO has any role in a conflict that has lasted two hundred years or longer is quite simply dotty.
You can cherry pick your “evidence” all day long 🤦
And “rants”… Beyond Irony..
‘Social media, in all its forms, is bad for reading.
It’s bad for reading habits, meaning when you’re on social media you’re not reading a book.
It’s bad for reading attention, meaning it shrinks your ability to focus for sustained periods of time.’

That article is an evidence free rant.
“Kyiv’s other offer to President Trump is that Ukrainian soldiers replace American ones posted at NATO bases across Europe.”
Will there be any Ukrainian soldiers left by that time?
If Ukraine had only been provided more weapons …
How many more weapons do you expect the world to provide? Most western countries have depleted their own stocks so much that they are now unable to defend themselves – not that anyone can be interested in invading them, since they are also economically at rock bottom.
President Volodymyr Zelensky wants American businesses to invest in his country’s natural resources, worth $26 trillion, equivalent to Canada’s or Australia’s mineral wealth.
Yes, is it now clear why USA has invested so much in this conflict?!
Finally, your Recent polls show that trust in Putin has fallen precipitously in the wake of the Kursk offensive was just one hardly convincing poll documented by Isabel van Brugen, educated in UK, whose ‘Latest posts’ are all anti-Russian:
The poll, conducted from August 22 to 28 among 1,619 Russian adults, found that 45 percent of respondents named the Russian president among the politicians they trust. The figure is 3 percentage points lower than in July, and the lowest since October 2023, Russian investigative site Agentstvo said.
Amazing piece of non-news.
UKR natural resources, worth $26 trillion, equivalent to Canada’s or Australia’s mineral wealth. Likely what Russia is in it for.
The natural resources are being bought up by the likes of Blackrock. Ukraine used to be the biggest grain exporter in the world and was certainly the bread basket of Europe.
Whomever controls the food, controls the people. You can see where this is going.
Indeed
2M signatures on the petition now. If you haven’t already, get over there and add your name. It will probably achieve nothing concrete, but it will provide ammunition for opposition MPs to use against 2TK and his band of traitors, and it’s worth doing just for that fact.
