She had been expected to visit Elmhurst Ballet School, in Birmingham, to celebrate the school's centenary before heading to Southwater One Library in Telford - but these engagements will now be re-arranged.
It was previously said the royal - the second wife of King Charles III - had pulled out of the visits due to a "seasonal illness".
The Queen Consort is said to be in good spirits and resting and is disappointed not to be able to fulfil her engagements.
The Palace said in a statement: "After suffering the symptoms of a cold, Her Majesty The Queen Consort has tested positive for the Covid virus.

Almost exactly a year ago to the day, it was announced by Buckingham Palace that Camilla had tested positive for Covid.
It came after her husband Charles contracted the virus for a second time, and sources said Camilla was "triple vaccinated".
However, afterward, she was forced to miss an event after still suffering the after-effects of the virus.
She later revealed she had been left with a slight cough in the aftermath.
When she met a group of record-breaking charity rowers at Clarence House, she told them: "Well, it's taken me three weeks and I still can’t get shot of it.
"Probably my voice might suddenly go coughing and spluttering."
