Royal Family News: Queen Elizabeth Got Her Final Dose of COVID Vaccine, Goes Out Maskless

British Royal family news reveals Queen Elizabeth honored the first one hundred years of the Royal Australian Air Force by visiting Runnymede Air Forces Memorial in the U.K, and though she stepped out fashionably in a green gown with a matching wide brimmed hat decorated with yellow and white flowers, she was without a mask.

Queen Elizabeth Is Fully Vaccinated

It’s been confirmed that the 94-year-old monarch has received both doses of the COVID-19 vaccine before she made her first public appearance of the year on Wednesday. Buckingham Palace released a statement in January that the Queen and her 99-year-old husband, Prince Philip, received their first doses.

They also stated that they would not be releasing any further statement on the matter regarding their second shot. In a video call released in February, the Queen spoke about the vaccination, using a British term by calling it “the jab.”

“It was very quick, and I’ve had lots of letters from people who have been surprised by how easy it was to get the vaccine,” she said in the call with health leaders from the four nations that make up the U.K. “And the jab – it didn’t hurt at all.”

Prince William Congratulates His Grandparents For Setting A Good Example

While speaking with frontline workers and volunteers from across the U.K. via a video call, Prince William expressed his pride that his grandparents are setting an example from the British citizens during a speech he gave on the behalf of the country’s COVID-19 vaccination rollout in January.

“My grandparents have had the vaccine and I’m very proud of them for doing that,” William, who tested positive for COVID-19 in April last year, said. “It’s really important that everyone gets their vaccine.”

Prince William was believed to have tested positive around the same time as his father, but he kept his condition a low profile at the time so that he wouldn’t alarm the nation. Kensington Palace, the office and home of Prince William did not tell anyone about his positive coronavirus test result, because according to Prince William, “there were important things going on and I didn’t want to worry anyone.”
