This comes after her husband Prince William-the Duke of Cambridge received his first dose of COVID-19, a week ago. The UK-wide vaccine rollout was expanded to people in their 30s earlier this month.
"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," Kate tweeted along with a picture of her getting the vaccination shot.
In the snap, Kate is seen sporting a casual look inclusive of a pastel shade slim fit top and high waist straight jeans. Despite being decked up, she carried a completely different look from what she dons usually and fans are going gaga over her easy-breezy style.
The Duchess of Cambridge is the latest addition to the royals who got vaccinated against the deadly infection.
