Prince William revealed on Thursday he had received his first dose of a coronavirus vaccine after he fell ill with the disease last year.
The Duke of Cambridge, 38, became the latest member of the royal family to be inoculated against Covid-19, getting his shot at London's Science Museum this week.
"On Tuesday I received my first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine," he said on his official Twitter account. "To all those working on the vaccine rollout – thank you for everything you've done and continue to do".
The UK's National Health Service has vaccinated almost 37 million people and last week extended its inoculation campaign to include people in their 30s.
William fell ill with the disease last April, at about the same time as his father, heir-to-the-throne Prince Charles, although he kept the news secret until November.
Media reports said he had not wanted to alarm anyone and that he had been hit quite badly by the virus.
Other members of the royal family also disclosed that they have been vaccinated, including Queen Elizabeth, 95, and Charles.
The queen said having the shot was very quick and did not hurt, and she encouraged the public to follow suit, saying those who were wary should think of others.

What is dialysis?
Dialysis is a way of cleaning your blood when your kidneys fail and can no longer do the job.
It gets rid of your body's wastes, extra salt and water, and helps to control your blood pressure. The main cause of kidney failure is diabetes and hypertension.
There are two kinds of dialysis — haemodialysis and peritoneal.
In haemodialysis, blood is pumped out of your body to an artificial kidney machine that filter your blood and returns it to your body by tubes.
In peritoneal dialysis, the inside lining of your own belly acts as a natural filter. Wastes are taken out by means of a cleansing fluid which is washed in and out of your belly in cycles.
It isn’t an option for everyone but if eligible, can be done at home by the patient or caregiver. This, as opposed to home haemodialysis, is covered by insurance in the UAE.
