William told Shivali Modha, who has type 2 diabetes: “Catherine and I are not medical experts by any means but we can wholeheartedly support having vaccinations.
“We’ve spoken to a lot of people about it and the uptake has been amazing so far.
“We’ve got to keep it going so the younger generations also feel that it’s really important for them to have it.”
He added: “Social media is awash with misinformation so we have to be a bit careful who we believe.”
Mum-of-two Shivali, 39, of Barnet, North London, said she was worried after reading things on social media.
Kate said: “I hope it comes as a huge relief in the end.
“I know there’s maybe the anxiety and the worry leading up to it, but I hope for all of you it will add a bit of normality back to your lives.”
The exchange came 24 hours after the Queen said her jab “didn’t hurt at all”.
