The Sun newspaper said William continued with his telephone and video engagements, and told one observer he had not wanted to worry anyone.
When contacted on Sunday, Kensington Palace declined to comment but did not deny the report.

The newspaper said William was treated by palace doctors and followed Government guidelines by isolating at the family home Anmer Hall, in Norfolk, carrying out 14 telephone
and video call engagements during April.
It was unclear last night why Kensington Palace would have kept secret a positive test by William, as information was given about the Prince of Wales.
The fact he continued with his engagements suggests any symptoms would have been mild.
Prince Charles, his father, contracted the virus in March and quarantined with mild symptoms in Scotland separately from the Duchess of Cornwall - who tested negative and self-isolated for 14 days - and worked throughout at the couple's Scottish retreat Birkhall in Aberdeenshire.
The couple reunited in early April just days before their 15th wedding anniversary.
Prince Charles revealed he lost his sense of taste and smell when he had coronavirus.
He spoke of his personal experience with covid-19 when he met frontline NHS staff and key workers in person with Camilla in mid-June.
