Report: Britain’s Prince William had coronavirus in April

LONDON — The BBC says Britain’s Prince William had the coronavirus apparently around the same time as his father Prince Charles earlier this year.

The report cited unidentified palace sources and The Sun newspaper, which said William kept his telephone and video engagements without revealing his diagnosis because he didn’t want to worry anyone. Kensington Palace declined to comment Sunday but did not deny the report.
