Doing her part! Kate Middleton revealed that she got her first COVID-19 vaccine via social media on Saturday, May 29.
"Yesterday I received my first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine at London’s Science Museum. I’m hugely grateful to everyone who is playing a part in the rollout - thank you for everything you are doing," she captioned a photo of herself wearing a white T-shirt and jeans.
Of course, fans took to the comments section to praise the mom-of-three for her actions. One person wrote, "You are an awesome role model Duchess Of Cambridge 👏👏," while another added, "Amazing news!!! So glad to hear about this 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 thank you for sharing a picture of this great moment with us ❤️❤️❤️❤️."
A third user added, "Wonderful example👏🏻 The Duchess looks beautiful as usual😍."
Just nine days earlier, Kate's husband, Prince William, got his first jab.
"On Tuesday I received my first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. To all those working on the vaccine rollout - thank you for everything you've done and continue to do," he captioned a photo of himself getting pricked on the official The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge social media accounts.
However, fans zoomed in on his bulging bicep. One person wrote, "Check out those guns!" while another added, “Ha ha, I was just thinking he’s looking pretty fit.”
A third user added, "the guns tho."
William and Kate "both decided to wait in line like everyone else in the country," a source told OK!. "You could easily make the case that the future King and Queen are both essential workers, however, they are not going to jump ahead of everyone else in their age group."
In November 2020, it was revealed William and his father, Prince Charles, both contracted COVID-19 in the spring. William was hit "pretty hard by the virus ... it really knocked him for six," a source said.
Since then, the royal family has encouraged the public to get their vaccines.
"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. And the jab — it didn't hurt at all," Queen Elizabeth said earlier this year.
