Kate Garraway’s husband, Derek’s Draper, 55, was rushed to hospital shortly after Kate, 56, received an MBE honour at Windsor Castle.
The Good Morning Britain star took to Instagram on Sunday (July 2), where she gave fans an update on her husband Derek, who has been fighting to overcome various health problems ever since he was diagnosed with Covid-19 in early 2020.
Kate, who received an MBE from the Prince of Wales on Wednesday (June 28) for her services to broadcasting, journalism and charity, shared how her husband was under medical care a day after.

Taking to Instagram, where she shared snaps of her receiving her MBE from Prince William, she penned: “I am so incredibly moved and humbled by the whole experience.
“So many of you have sent so many lovely messages, including the lady who stopped her car a few minutes ago outside our house to say, ‘I know what you’re going through, and I know how much that moment meant, and I am a nurse.’

Adding: “It was so wonderful to see Derek’s determination to be there, so kind of the Prince of Wales, to make it special for him and to recognise the work of Jake, our incredible carer, who represents all those who make Derek’s daily life possible. And, of course, my long-suffering mum and dad.
“It was also so humbling to meet all the others, much more deserving than myself, who were there to receive their honours. The Prince of Wales managed to make every single one of them feel as special as they are.

“Tomorrow Derek is back in hospital, and of course, the daily struggles go on – but the fact that he was able to be part of Wednesday is to be treasured, and I can’t thank everyone in the NHS and all around him who love him for making it possible.
“I have so many thanks to give, but I must make sure I thank @lisaredmanltd for the loan of my ‘fit for a king dress’ and @missbsmillinery for its matching hat!
“Love to you all, and happy Sunday.”

Kate previously admitted it was “amazing” that Derek had been able to attend after a gruelling ordeal that saw him become the longest surviving hospital patient with Covid in the UK.
Speaking outside after being given her MBE, Kate told how Derek had marked a huge milestone by being able to sit upright in a wheelchair during the ceremony.
