The Prince of Wales, 72, and the Duchess of Cornwall, 73, fall into the age group currently receiving the "jab" in the UK's vaccine program. The Daily Mail also reported that Camilla seemed "very happy" after getting her first dose, according to a friend.
Charles and Camilla now join British Royal Family members Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip in having received their first dose of the vaccine. Due to their ages, the Queen, 94, and the Duke of Edinburgh, 99, got theirs in January, in the early weeks of the vaccine program.

Prince Charles vaccinated after battling coronavirus in 2020
Prince Charles has now been vaccinated after testing positive for the virus in March 2020, during the early moments of the outbreak. His son, Prince William, also battled the disease not long after, but that news wasn't released until some months later.
It's thought that Charles and Camilla have been in lockdown at Highgrove House in Gloucestershire. They also welcomed a new member into the Royal Family on Tuesday, when Princess Eugenie—niece of Prince Charles—gave birth to a son.
