Earlier this month, Jazmin Grace Grimaldi shared that she'd tested positive for COVID-19. Now, she says she's "starting to finally feel like myself" after three weeks of symptoms—but still has some lingering issues.

Grimaldi—Prince Albert of Monaco's daughter with Tamara Jean Rotolo, with whom he had a short relationship—posted on Instagram this week about her recovery, explaining how she was feeling in a long comment. She said she was on the road to recovery, and that she was "grateful to be alive and healthy at this present moment."

Still, she isn't yet at 100%. "I do in fact have Covid symptoms that continue to linger and pop up on and off again," Grimaldi wrote. "Ex: headaches, ear aches, fatigue and diarrhea. I am just trying to do all I can to gain my strength back and build my immunity, patience is key but I am happily on the road to recovery." She concluded the comment with a plea to her followers to follow public health guidelines (and a note that the photo she posted was taken without a filter).

I am so thankful that I am starting to finally feel like myself today after almost three weeks since I first felt Covid symptoms. I am grateful to be alive and healthy at this present moment. We take so much for granted including our health, our bodies our precious miraculous temples! I do in fact have Covid symptoms that continue to linger and pop up on and off again. Ex: headaches, ear aches, fatigue and diarrhea. I am just trying to do all I can to gain my strength back and build my immunity, patience is key but I am happily on the road to recovery. I’m here standing strong as one of the many survivors of this vicious mysterious virus but I am also an advocate. I want to be a reminder to each of you that this virus can affect you, a family member or someone you love. Please don’t be careless even if you personally seem to not have symptoms or think you have immunity. Think of the others beyond yourself that our helpless. We don’t have enough answers but a lot of cases continue to increase and even people have begun to relapse and contract the virus again. The immune response, including duration of immunity, to SARS-CoV-2 infection is not yet understood. There is still a lot of questions and unknown answers yet to reveal themselves. What I have learned is that even while being cautious you can get this virus that’s what’s scary. Everyone carries the virus differently and affects the immune system differently. So let’s please be patient and continue to be cautious. please continue to wear your mask, social distance, sanitize and quarantine ! I’m in the quarantine club and it’s cool 😎! Be safe! 💕💕💕 I’m counting on us conquering this pandemic together! Ps no filter just golden hour at home, loving nature’s natural remedies ☀️ 💤 🍊 💦 ! Thank you for all the love and well wishes you’ve sent! The biggest gift is to please take this Pandemic seriously!!!!!

This post followed Grimaldi's June 14 IGTV video, in which she revealed that she'd tested positive for COVID-19, despite practicing social distancing, wearing a mask, and regularly sanitizing her hands. After disclosing that she'd received the diagnosis that day, she warned viewers that she had "unfortunately seen a lot of people, though, around me who have not been abiding by the rules, and that scares me," and encouraged everyone to take necessary precautions to minimize the virus's spread.

Grimaldi's diagnosis comes months after her father Prince Albert tested positive for the novel coronavirus. When he received his diagnosis in March, Albert became the first head of state to contract COVID-19. He then went into isolation, and recovered quickly from what he described as a mild case.
