Foreign secretary Dominic Raab announced that arrangements were being made for Queen Elizabeth and her husband Prince Philip to get the COVID-19 vaccine according to the list revealed by the government last week.

But the minister said that he is not sure if the the royal couple will get the COVID-19 vaccine on television, but indicated they will get the jab.

Queen Elizabeth, at 94, and Philip, who is 99, both make the second highest category due to their ages, which was rolled out from Tuesday.

Raab, who was appearing on NBC News, was asked whether the Queen and Philip will get the vaccine, and revealed: “I'm not sure whether they'll do it on camera but I'm sure arrangements will be made according to the phased approach that I set out."
