She said: 'I actually saw him on the 11th of March. It was the first day he'd stopped shaking hands, and we did the namaste greeting at the Prince's Trust.'
GMB played footage of the meeting between Kate and Charles, with Kate pointing out: 'We're relatively close there, as indeed were all the other people that were involved in that.
'I don't have any symptoms, so I'm not blaming him for anything at all, but people are going to be concerned. He's a man that meets a lot of people.'
Just a day later, Kate assured fans that she was in 'perfect' health and had been to hospital to have her eye checked over, following reports conjunctivitis is listed as a symptom of COVID-19.

The couple, who wed in September 2005, have previously discussed their union, with Derek admitting that he feared she was 'a high-maintenance TV bimbo'.
Kate, who was married to Ian Rumsey from 1998 to 2002, met Derek when they were set up by mutual friend, then-political editor of GMTV Gloria De Piero.
The I'm A Celeb star told The Times: 'One day, as the sun was rising, she said, “I’m having an epiphany. You and Derek Draper.” I was, like, “Who?”

'Derek had just moved back from America, having left politics and retrained as a psychotherapist, and she thought we’d be perfect for each other...
'She set up drinks with a group of people at Claridge’s. Derek arrived thinking it was a date and that I was being incredibly cool by ignoring him.'
Derek then admitted he was relieved he went on the date as Kate dispelled all the myths he believed of dating a TV personality.
Kate's GMB co-star Piers Morgan has previously spoke about Derek as they used to butt heads when he was a press chief for Labour and Piers was editor of the Daily Mirror.
