A Buckingham Palace spokesperson said:

“The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh have today received Covid-19 vaccinations.”

And a Royal source added that it was a Household Doctor who gave the jabs.

The source said – although it was unusual for the Palace to comment on the couple’s health – it was important the treatment was made public.

The source said:

“Her Majesty decided that she would let it be known she has had the vaccination to prevent inaccuracies and further speculation”.

It is not known which coronavirus vaccine was administered.
