Kate Middleton on Friday received her first COVID-19 vaccine dose and said she was “hugely grateful” to everyone involved in making it happen.
The Duchess of Cambridge, 39, got the jab at London’s Science Museum after returning from a tour of Scotland with Prince William. Kate, wearing blue jeans and a short-sleeved white top, shared a photo of the big moment as she sat on a chair with the needle in her arm.
“Yesterday I received my first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine at London’s Science Museum,” she posted on Instagram. “I’m hugely grateful to everyone who is playing a part in the rollout — thank you for everything you are doing.”
William, 38, received his first dose on May 18, also from the National Health Service staff at the Science Museum.
Some commenters on Kate’s Instagram post said they would have expected the royal to already be vaccinated. “Only now the first dose? Goodness!” remarked one follower.
William contracted COVID-19 more than a year ago but kept it secret at the time because he said he didn’t want to “worry” anyone. The disease reportedly hit him “pretty hard” and he isolated at his country home in Norfolk when he became ill.
Prince Charles also came down with COVID-19 last year around the same time.
The royals did not reveal which vaccine they received.
Charles, his wife Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, and Queen Elizabeth have all completed their vaccinations.
