Queen Letizia of Spain revealed her husband King Felipe is doing ‘very well’ after testing positive for Covid-19.
The 49-year-old visited the Proton Therapy center of the University Hospital Quironsalud, days after it was announced Felipe had contracted the virus.
It is part of a spate of positive Covid-19 tests across European royal families, with Prince Charles and Denmark’s Queen Margrethe II, 81, also struck down.
While her husband remains isolating at their home, Zarzuela Palace, Letizia seemed in high spirits and was seen waving to royal fans before visiting the new medical facility.
When journalists enquired about her husband’s health, she said he was doing very well, according to Hola!

According to the centre, proton therapy is currently the safest and most advanced radiotherapy technique for treating certain kinds of cancer.
Applied in specific doses, protons can act with precision inside tissue, achieving a better anti-tumour activity and causing less damage to healthy tissue.
