The Duke of Cambridge has warned against 'rumours and misinformation' on social media about coronavirus jabs. .

Prince William, 38, also urged people to keep on taking the Covid-19 vaccination so 'younger generations' will feel 'it's really important for them to have it,' as he and Kate Middleton, 39, talked by video call with two clinically vulnerable women who have been shielding since last March.

Shivali Modha, who has type 2 diabetes, and severe asthma sufferer Fiona Doyle are both now eligible for the vaccine as part of priority group 6, and were preparing to have their jabs when they spoke to the royals on Tuesday.

The Duke, 38, and Duchess of Cambridge (pictured), 39, spoke via video call on Tuesday to two individuals with long-term health conditions who have been shielding with their families over the course of the past year, and who are now eligible to receive the Covid19 vaccine.

It's really, really important.

We've got to keep it going so the younger generations also feel that it's really important for them to have it.

Thanking the duke and duchess for calling, Mrs Modha told them: 'It's really nice to have you in our home, I wish I could offer you a cup of tea!'
