Prince William is proud of the example his grandparents are setting for their British citizens.
The royal, 38, recently spoke with frontline workers and volunteers from across the U.K. via a video call about the country's COVID-19 vaccination roll-out, and praised Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip for getting the vaccine.
"My grandparents have had the vaccine and I'm very proud of them for doing that," William said, adding, "It's really important that everyone gets their vaccine."
Buckingham Palace announced earlier this month that the Queen, 94, and her husband, 99, who are both in the high-risk category, were given vaccinations. "The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh have today received Covid-19 vaccinations," a Buckingham Palace spokesperson told PEOPLE on Jan. 9.
