"The tests were carried out by the NHS in Aberdeenshire where they met the criteria required for testing.
"It is not possible to ascertain from whom the Prince caught the virus owing to the high number of engagements he carried out in his public role during recent weeks."
The Queen's son was last seen in public at a dinner in aid of the Australian bushfire relief and recovery effort as Mansion House earlier this month.
He was the guest of honour at a fundraising dinner in London on 12 March, where he gave a touching speech and praised the efforts of those who have been raising money for the cause.
Prince William and Prince Harry's dad said: "It is, if I may say so, particularly heartwarming to see so many of you gathered here this evening.
"To know how determined you are to help those who were so cruelly affected by the catastrophic bushfires in Australia recently.
"I was most touched to have been invited to join you for this occasion and to have an opportunity to express, once again, just how much my family and I care about what I can only imagine must have seemed like an apocalyptic vision of Hell that the Australian people have been through over these past, desperately trying, few months.
"Amidst the horror and the sorrow, I have, above all, felt the greatest possible sense of admiration for the extraordinary determination and resilience of the Australian people.
"The manner in which firefighters and other emergency services, as well as countless thousands of volunteers, in their own unique, antipodean way, have risked their lives to defend neighbour and stranger alike, represents, it seems to me, the very essence of the Australian character.
