As the UK braces itself for a new wave of Covid-19 cases and new restrictions have hit home, the Queen has been forced to make changes to her Christmas plans. Now, it seems, her Christmas gathering will get sadly even smaller as Princess Anne's husband has tested positive for Covid.
The Sun reports that Anne, 71, will not be spending Christmas Day with her mother, Queen Elizabeth, as her husband, Sir Timothy Laurence, has tested positive for Covid.
Due to the diagnosis, Anne and Sir Timothy, 66, will be isolating at the Gatcombe Park Estate in Gloucestershire over the festive period.
