<p>The Duchess of Cambridge was given the vital vaccine by NHS staff after the rollout was extended to over 30s this week.</p>
<p>The moment follows just nine days after her husband Prince William, 38, was pictured receiving his jab.</p>
<p>Prince William also got his own COVID vaccine done at the Science Museum, which is close to the couple’s home in Kensington Palace.</p>
<p>William himself was struck down by COVID in April of last year, just days after his father Prince Charles, and the Prime Minister Boris Johnson.</p>
<p>The royal “struggled to breathe,” but kept his diagnosis a secret as he did not want to alarm the nation.</p>

<p>Despite his illness, William managed to carry out 14 telephone and video call engagements during April.</p>
<p>Earlier this year, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge warned the public about COVID-19 rumours and misinformation vaccinations on social media.</p>
<p>William addressed clinically vulnerable woman who are shielding, by saying: “Catherine and I are not medical experts by any means, but we can wholeheartedly support having vaccinations.</p>
<p>“We’ve spoken to a lot of people about it and the uptake has been amazing so far.</p>
<p>“We’ve got to keep it going so the younger generations also feel that it’s really important for them to have it.”</p>
