WOW Prince William

SharkE — Mon, 02 Nov 2020 14:33:26 GMT

back in April had Corona too.

How he kept that a secret is anybody's guess.

Probably got it from or gave it to his father.

I don't understand the reasoning for keeping it secret.

@CelticCrafter. He didn't wear a mask during his outings for quite a while after the pandemic started (I saw photos) so not sure how he contracted it

According to the news, in England they can manage to keep things secret.

Maybe since he thought Covid was over-hyped by the media, he decided to keep quiet when he had it.

The article that I read said that he kept it quiet because he didn't want to worry people. I wonder if he told hsi staff and those who were around him. The whole point of letting people know that you have Covid 19 is for tracking so that they can be tested. Lord knows how many people he came in contact with while he was infectious. If his father didn't keep his positive status a secret. I think William was not very responsible.

This is why I always think citing sources is important, which I wish OP had done. Now that I tried to find the source of this info on the net, I see that media reporting it are citing The Sun as their source, often referred to as tabloid. The source is not Buckinham Palace which or any other official royal source (that I could find anyway).

Having had no contact with him, none of this matters one whit to me whether it was a secret or not.

(CNN) Prince William, second-in-line to the British throne, tested positive for coronavirus earlier this year, according to the BBC, citing palace sources.

@Pearlee So true, all reports be it the BBC, NBC, CBS, etc. are based only on the reports by The Sun.

Re: WOW Prince William

Lipstickdiva — Mon, 02 Nov 2020 15:10:26 GMT

I too saw it reported on Good Morning America. Not sure what their source was though. I've only seen The Sun UK as a source.

Thank you !

Re: WOW Prince William

Pearlee — Mon, 02 Nov 2020 15:18:02 GMT

Yes it is being widely reported and I too only see The Sun as the source so far, nothing official from the royals, as I posted above. That's not to say William didn't have the virus. My point continually on this board has been to give sources readers can evaluate how reliable the info is.

Pearlee — Mon, 02 Nov 2020 15:24:31 GMT

Because someone doesn't watch Good Morning America that person "must not get up early"? 🤣🤣🤣

Don't really care, but it is a reminder that credibility is fragile. Somehow he moved into a different light.

Hello Canada is basically a Royal Scrapbook of precious sweet moments in their lives. So when I read the headline an article this morning on their site I knew it was true. I just do not understand the secrecy since Charles informed us about his.

Re: WOW Prince William

Somertime — Mon, 02 Nov 2020 16:05:18 GMT

@Johnnyeager The BBC acknowledged it was reported by the Sun, first, as their source. The Sun reported "Palaces Sources" in their report.

Who cares? And this person in the news is better than you and me? Um no.

I am sure lots of people have had the virus and recovered nicely that have not been reported, counted or even known they had it.
