Prince Phillips

Europe's royal households and Commonwealth leaders alike praised his exceptional public service.

Joe Biden described the duke as a "heck of a guy", and all living former US presidents also sent tributes.

Pope Francis paid tribute to his "devotion to his marriage and family".

The leader of the Roman Catholic Church also noted the prince's "commitment to the education and advancement of future generations".

A royal source said the vaccinations were administered on Saturday by a household doctor at Windsor Castle.

The source added the Queen decided to let it be known she had the vaccination to prevent further speculation.

The Queen, 94, and Prince Philip, 99, are among around 1.5 million people in the UK to have had at least one dose of a Covid vaccine so far.

People aged over 80 in the UK are among the high-priority groups who are being given the vaccine first.
