We wish Prince Charles a speedy recovery from coronavirus.
The fact he has contracted it a second time is a reminder the pandemic is far from over.
Tens of thousands are still coming down with the virus every day and, just as Charles will hope he has not passed it on to the Queen, they too will worry about spreading it.
So Boris Johnson must explain why he unilaterally decided to bring forward the end of all Covid restrictions.
One member of SAGE has said they were blindsided by the decision even though it has implications for millions of people’s health.
It is also noticeable that neither the Chief Medical Officer, Sir Chris Whitty, nor the Chief Scientific Adviser, Sir Patrick Vallance, have said whether they approve of the PM’s actions.
People will rightly ask whether the Prime Minister is acting in the national interest or out of political expediency.

Boris Johnson’s overblown rhetoric yesterday risked crossing that line. President Putin is deliberately testing the resolve of the West.
Forcing him to back down requires careful and well-calibrated diplomacy, not cavalier comments and photo opportunities designed to distract attention from domestic troubles.
