According to a Kensington Palace spokesperson "Her Royal Highness is not experiencing any symptoms, but is following all relevant government guidelines and is self-isolating at home."

She began self-isolating on Friday after being alerted that afternoon that she had come into contact with someone who later tested positive, but it is not known if the NHS app made her aware.

The duchess, who has received both of her COVID jabs, follows the royal household testing regime and takes lateral flow tests twice a week.

In addition she took lateral flow tests before visiting Wimbledon and watching England's Euro 2020 victory against Germany on Tuesday with William and son Prince George - with both results negative.

The Duchess of Cambridge had been due to attend a service at St Paul's Cathedral later to celebrate the 73rd anniversary of the NHS.

And she was later due to host a tea at Buckingham Palace following the event but she will now have to isolate at home for 10 days.

Kate's last public event was a visit to Wimbledon on Friday when she met staff at the All England Club's museum, Centre Court kitchen and sat with former tennis star Tim Henman to watch Jamie Murray play in the doubles.

The duchess is patron of the All England Lawn Tennis Club and a keen tennis fan but is now likely to miss the men's and women's final at the weekend. Kate Middleton
