Prince William contracted COVID-19 in April and became so unwell he had difficulty breathing, but kept the illness secret, according to reports.
The 38-year-old heir to the throne was struck down by the disease days after his father, Prince Charles, tested positive on March 30, The Sun newspaper said in a report to be published in Britain on Monday.
The BBC also reported that William contracted COVID-19 in April at a similar time to his father Prince Charles, citing Kensington Palace sources. It is not known whether his wife, Catherine, or children, George, Charlotte and Louis, were also infected.
Kensington Palace declined to comment on Sunday night.

Quoting a royal source, The Sun said Prince William was "knocked him for six". At one stage he was struggling to breathe, so obviously everyone around him was pretty panicked," the source was quoted as saying."
After seeing medics and testing positive – which was obviously quite a shock given how fit and healthy he is – William was determined it should be business as usual though."

The report said Prince William self-isolated for 14 days and continued working.
The future king did not make his illness public because he did not want to alarm the nation, the paper said.
