The Queen and her husband, Prince Philip, have officially received COVID-19 vaccines, the Palace has confirmed. Daily Mail royal correspondent and all-around royal expert Rebecca English shared the news on Twitter today, writing, "Breaking: The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh have today received #COVD vaccinations at Windsor Castle, Buckingham Palace announce.
A source confirms these have been administered by a Household Doctor. HMQ decided to confirm the news to prevent 'inaccuracies and speculation.'"In a followup tweet, English elaborated on the Queen's decision to reverse course on the issue, since the Palace had previously insisted that the royals would not confirm when or even if the monarch had been vaccinated.
