THE HAGUE - Princess Beatrix of the Netherlands has tested positive for COVID-19, the Dutch Government Information Service (RVD) announced on Saturday.

The 83-year-old former queen was tested because of the mild cold complaints she had. She is now in isolation at home, and persons who have been in close contact with her have been informed.

Beatrix said last week that she had already had her booster vaccine shot, or the third vaccination.

Beatrix is the mother of King Willem-Alexander. She was queen from 1980 until her abdication in 2013.
