The pair are currently in Scotland, at the Balmoral Estate, while the Queen and Prince Philip are at Windsor Castle.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are said to be in Norfolk, at their countryside home Anmer Hall, so the royal family is spread all over the United Kingdom.
News of Prince Charles' diagnosis was confirmed last week, when the Palace issued a statement saying, 'In accordance with government and medical advice, the Prince and the Duchess are now self-isolating at home in Scotland. The tests were carried out by the NHS in Aberdeenshire where they met the criteria required for testing.
'It is not possible to ascertain from whom the Prince caught the virus owing to the high number of engagements he carried out in his public role during recent weeks.'
