A spokesperson for the Palace has confirmed that a member of staff has indeed tested positive for the virus. 

Queen Elizabeth has since left the Palace for Windsor Castle, but reports have confirmed that Her Majesty was still in the Palace with the member of staff before they tested positive.

It is unknown as to whether or not the member of staff had interacted with Queen Elizabeth or not.

Every other member of staff in close contact with the employee in question has been told to stay home and self-isolate.

The Royal Family have had to make some big changes since the emergence of Covid-19, and is clearly taking every precaution neccessary to ensure the virus doesn't spread within the family.
