Spain has fined Belgium's Prince Joachim €10,400 for breaking quarantine rules last month during a trip to the country, where he tested positive for the coronavirus, a Spanish government official has said.
The prince, 28, who is the nephew of Belgium's King Philippe, travelled to the southern Spanish region of Andalusia from Belgium on 24 May for an internship.
He has been penalised for failing to quarantine himself for 14 days on arrival, a requirement for anyone entering the country, the government official in Andalusia told Reuters.
Prince Joachim admitted breaching quarantine rules, and has 15 days to respond to the fine, the official said. The prince's lawyer could not immediately be reached for comment.
