The Queen has sent a message to Prime Minister Boris Johnson's pregnant fiancée as he battles coronavirus Covid-19.
The Monarch told Carrie Symonds and the Johnson family that her thoughts are with them at this difficult time.
Johnson was admitted to St Thomas' Hospital's intensive care unit last night, but is said to be "stable" and in "good spirits"
Before social distancing came into force, the Queen met Johnson every week to get updates on what's going on in government.
Buckingham Palace said: "Earlier today The Queen sent a message to Carrie Symonds and to the Johnson family.
"Her Majesty said they were in her thoughts and that she wished the Prime Minister a full and speedy recovery."
Prince William has also sent a message to Johnson, tweeting: "Our thoughts are with the Prime Minister and his family, who like so many in the UK and around the world are affected by coronavirus.
"We wish him a speedy recovery at this difficult time."
He signed the tweet with "W".
Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall also "sent their wishes for a speedy recovery to the Prime Minister this morning", a spokesman for the pair confirmed.
Sources claimed Johnson had received a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) breathing aid, amid fears he may contract pneumonia or have to be fully ventilated.
No10 admit his condition "worsened" last night after he was admitted to the London hospital with a cough and fever on Sunday.
But asked if the PM had pneumonia - which indicates the most critical complications from Covid-19 - his spokesman said "That is not the case, no."
The spokesman added not only had the PM not been on a ventilator at this stage, he had also not received "non-invasive" oxygen, thought to include CPAP.
Carrie has also been suffering with coronavirus symptoms and spent a week in bed as a result.
She shared the news on Twitter - adding that, after resting for seven days, she is now feeling better.
She wrote: "I’ve spent the past week in bed with the main symptoms of Coronavirus.
"I haven’t needed to be tested and, after seven days of rest, I feel stronger and I’m on the mend."
Ms Symonds shared advice for pregnant women, who are considered to be one of the categories most at risk, tweeting a link to the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists.
She tweeted: "Being pregnant with Covid-19 is obviously worrying.
"To other pregnant women, please do read and follow the most up to date guidance which I found to be v reassuring."
