The rules don’t require Prince William to self-isolate. Family members & social bubbles are only required to self-isolate if Kate was experiencing symptoms herself, or tested positive, after being in contact with the person who later tested positive for Covid.
The Royal UK understands that Kate has received both her vaccines and was alerted on Friday afternoon and began isolating.
