The couple were out together last night and then Charles tested positive today for the second time but is not showing symptoms.
Speaking to Willie Hartley Russell, high sheriff for Berkshire, during the visit on Thursday, Camilla said: 'He's diagnosed now. Luckily (she's negative). I've taken it so many times.'
Mr Hartley Russell said: 'It gets a bit pointless, doesn't it?' and Camilla agreed.
Speaking afterwards, he added: 'She said, "Yes, unfortunately he had tested positive again". I said he must be building up lots of antibodies.
'She said something like he's finding it a bit tiresome to have got it again, but she said it in a light-hearted way.'
Camilla was visiting Nourish Hub, a community kitchen based in Notting Hill to mark its opening.
While there she was asked by a guest how she felt about the title, which was announced over the weekend.
Camilla told him: 'I feel very honoured, very honoured and very touched.'
