Prince Albert of Monaco has tested positive for coronavirus but his health is not a cause for concern, his office said on Thursday.
“Prince Albert is continuing to work from the office in his private apartments,” it said in a statement.
The office said that Prince Albert is in constant contact with members of his cabinet, the government and his closest staff.
Prince Albert, aged 62, is the head of the centuries-old House of Grimaldi and son of the late Prince Rainier III and actress Grace Kelly.
He assumed the throne in 2005. He married South African former national swimming champion Charlene Wittstock in 2011. She gave birth to a boy and a girl in 2014.
