Queen Elizabeth received the Covid vaccine (together with Prince Philip)

Queen Elizabeth, 94, received the Covid vaccine. Together with her he was also vaccinated Prince Philip, 100 years old next June. Buckingham Palace confirmed the news, as the BBC writes.

The royal source has made it known that The Queen is her husband they were vaccinated at Windsor Castle on Saturday. Medical affairs of royalty usually remain strictly private, especially when they involve the queen. But it was the same Elizabeth II to want to make his vaccination public, to raise awareness among subjects and encourage them to do the same.

Elizabeth and Philip are thus added to and a half million Britons who have already received the first dose. Elizabeth and Philip spent Christmas, for the first time in decades, in Windsor and remained there for the third national lockdown.

In 2020 for over seven months – between March and October – the queen did not even carry out a public office outside the royal residence. Last March the eldest son Carlo, 72, contracted the coronavirus and showed mild symptoms. Sources in the palace then made it known that his nephew, Prince William, tested positive at Covid last April, although Kensington Palace has never officially confirmed.
