The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh have been given a Covid vaccine today, according to Buckingham Palace.

Elizabeth II, aged 94, and 99-year-old Prince Philip are in the high-risk category.

Buckingham Palace says the usually "private medical matter" is being shared to prevent further speculation.

It is not known whether they received the Pfizer/BioNTech or the Oxford/AstraZeneca jab.

About 1.5 million people in the UK have received a Covid vaccination so far.
