Queen and Prince Philip to announce when they’ve had COVID vaccine

They want to reassure the public that the vaccine is safe!

The Queen and Prince Philip will reportedly inform the public when they have received their COVID vaccine.

Her Majesty, 94, and Duke of Edinburgh, 99, apparently want to reassure the public that the new new vaccine is safe to use.

Due to their advanced ages, they will likely be within the second tier of Brits to receive the vaccine.

It is expected that those in care homes and their staff will receive the vaccine first.

According to the Sunday Times, The Queen and Prince Philip plan to ‘let it be known’ when they’ve received their jabs.

The paper also notes that in 1957 The Queen informed the public that both Prince Charles and Princess Anne had received inoculations against polio.

At the time, the inoculations were brand new, and some of the public feared its potential side effects.

However, palace aides have confirmed that their decision to receive the jabs is a ‘personal decision’ on their parts.

And that they will not receive any preferential treatment.

Instead, they will have to wait until they are allowed access to the vaccine along with the rest of the British population.

Their team of staff have self-isolated, working in rotation to ensure that The Queen and Prince Philip remain safe.

For the first time in 33 years, The Queen will not spend Christmas at Sandringham.

Instead, Buckingham Palace confirmed she and Prince Philip will spend the festive season at Windsor Castle.

The Palace confirmed in a statement: “Having considered all the appropriate advice, the Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh have decided that this year they will spend Christmas quietly in Windsor.”
