The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh have received their Covid-19 vaccines, a Buckingham Palace spokesman said on Saturday.
The inoculations were administered by a Home Doctor at Windsor Castle, a royal source said.
To prevent error and further profiteering, Her Majesty, who is 94 years old, decided to let her know that she had received the vaccine, the source added. Her husband is 99 years old.
The couple’s son, Prince Charles, was positive for coronavirus and went alone in March. The 72-year-old man later said he had been lucky he only got mild symptoms, saying he had “gotten rid of it very lightly.”
Meanwhile, his grandson Prince William, second in line to the British throne, did a good test for coronavirus earlier this year, UK media reported, although it is not clear when it is the virus.
Deaths are high in the UK: The United Kingdom reported 1,325 deaths and 68,053 new coronavirus cases on Friday, the highest daily increases since the onset of the pandemic, according to data published by the UK Department of Health.
There has been an increase of more than 15,000 cases since Thursday.
The numbers show an increase in cases as the new coronavirus variant, first discovered in the UK, sweeps the country.
The UK has recorded more than 2.9 million cases of Covid-19, and nearly 80,000 deaths, according to figures from Johns Hopkins University.
