Hey there, friends! Let’s talk about how Queen Elizabeth is handling life during these unusual times. The queen, like so many of us, has embraced technology to stay connected with her loved ones. According to an insider speaking to Closer Weekly on June 12, Her Majesty lights up every time she sees her great-grandchildren—yes, that includes adorable Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis, and even little Archie—on Zoom calls. These virtual gatherings have become a cherished part of her daily routine.

Embracing Country Living Amid Quarantine

But video chats aren’t the only way the queen is passing the time. At Windsor Castle, she’s making the most of her downtime by indulging in activities she truly loves. Whether it’s horse riding, walking her beloved corgis, or savoring a leisurely afternoon tea at exactly 3 p.m., the queen is living her best country life. “She’s a real country girl at heart,” the insider adds. “And she’s enjoying the simplicity of dressing down for a change. It’s refreshing for her!”

Connecting with Loved Ones During Uncertain Times

Even though the pandemic has forced the queen to reduce her staff, she’s managing beautifully. Every single day, she dedicates time to catch up with her son, Prince Charles, discussing royal matters and ensuring everything runs smoothly. On her 93rd birthday, she also had the pleasure of speaking with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle about their new lives in Los Angeles. During their chat, she praised them for their charitable efforts, expressing how delighted she was to hear from them.

“The queen told them all about her birthday and how wonderful her day had been, even though she was under lockdown,” the insider revealed. “She doesn’t typically go all out for her birthday, so this year wasn’t much different from past celebrations. As usual, she enjoyed her chocolate birthday cake.”

A Special Birthday for Prince Philip

Most recently, the royal family celebrated Prince Philip’s 99th birthday while in quarantine. The day began with a Zoom party organized as soon as he woke up on June 10. Everyone he holds dear was on the call, including Charles’ wife, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, and Duchess Kate alongside Prince William. Later that day, he relished a delightful birthday lunch with the queen and enjoyed a slice of chocolate cake with his wife.

Since the Duke of Edinburgh isn’t fond of extravagant birthday parties, he was content celebrating his 99th year with just the queen by his side. “He’s thrilled to be marking such a milestone with his beloved wife,” the insider noted. It’s clear that despite the challenges, the British royal family remains strong and united.

So, there you have it, folks! Everything seems to be going smoothly for the royals, even in these unprecedented times.
