Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, 73, and Prince Charles, 72, carried out an important royal engagement on Thursday as they visited the Gloucestershire Royal Hospital and met frontline workers receiving the Covid-19 vaccine. The couple have kept up with royal duty despite the pandemic and their visit to the Gloucestershire Vaccination Centre is likely to be one of their last engagements before the Christmas break.
The Prince of Wales has told staff administering the Covid-19 vaccination that he is “way down the list” for an injection.
Charles made the comments as he visited a vaccination centre at the Gloucestershire Royal Hospital in Gloucester with the Duchess of Cornwall, where the couple met frontline health workers administering and receiving the Pfizer jab.
Charles told staff: “I think I am way down the list and will have to wait.”
He added: “I think I’ll have to wait for the AstraZeneca one before it gets to my turn. I’m some way down the list.”
The prince also said that, as he had suffered with Covid-19, he has antibodies for the virus.
PRINCE Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall officially opened the Edward Jenner Covid19 Vaccination Hub at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital today. They are pictured here being greeted by the Trust’s Chief Executive, Deborah Lee and Professor Steve Hams, Chief Nurse and the Senior Responsible Officer for the programme. The couple met with NHS and care home staff who have been vaccinated and heard about the success of the programme so far. A Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust spokeswoman said: We would like to thank both The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall for joining us at the Edward Jenner Covid-19 Vaccination Hub, in support of the recent vaccination roll-out programme.
