Both George Brooksbank and his wife, Nicola, have tested positive for the virus

Princess Eugenie's father-in-law is battling the novel coronavirus in hospital, Metro reports.

Both of Jack Brooksbank's parents have tested positive for Covid-19. It's a 'traumatic time' for the couple, but the family is 'rallying round', a friend of Eugenie's has reportedly said.

George Brooksbank, 71, is currently in a 'serious but stable' condition in intensive care, while his wife Nicola, 66, is recovering from the illness at home.

Princess Eugenie is currently volunteering her time to support NHS workers during the coronavirus crisis, along with her mother, Sarah Ferguson.
