“I applied to the US Embassy for exemption from the current restrictions banning any non-US citizens into the US and was denied earlier today and I am devastated. I am double vaccinated, I had a PCR test yesterday and can fly at the drop of a hat. I have documents from the hospital confirming the extent of Kathryn’s injuries and am willing to do anything to get to her as soon as humanly possible.”

Following the announcement, several social media users took to Twitter to support Megan and Kathryn Prescott during the critical times. The Prescott siblings rose to fame after playing twins in the award-winning teen drama Skins.
