The palace spokeswoman would not comment on which vaccine the royals received. Britain has granted approval for three vaccines, although only two are currently being administered: the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine and the homegrown Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine. On Friday, Britain granted approval to a third vaccine developed by U.S.-based Moderna, but supplies won’t be available until the spring. In the 1950s, the palace let it be known that Prince Charles and Princess Anne had received the polio vaccine. His eldest son, Prince William, also caught it around the same time, although it wasn’t publicized.
