Adjusting Traditions Amidst the Pandemic

As we all know, Buckingham Palace announced in mid-March that the queen’s annual birthday parade would not take place in its traditional form due to the global coronavirus pandemic. Despite this, Queen Elizabeth is known for her resilience and adaptability. She’s still managed to make plans to celebrate her special day, proving that nothing can dampen her spirit.

Given the current restrictions, an insider exclusively revealed to Closer Weekly that the queen will be spending her birthday in quiet solitude with her husband, Prince Philip, at Windsor Castle. "She’s trying to remain upbeat despite missing her family," the source explained. "She’d love nothing more than to have her son Prince Charles there, as well as William, his wife Kate, and all the grandkids."

A Heartwarming Virtual Celebration

Even though physical distance separates the family, technology is bridging the gap. Prince Harry, now residing in Los Angeles, arranged a super sweet way to celebrate his grandma’s birthday. "[He] promised to FaceTime the queen with [his 11-month-old son] Archie as soon as they all wake up in L.A. that morning," the source revealed. Thanks to modern technology, the royal family can stay connected despite the miles between them.

Interestingly, William has also played a role in helping his grandmother navigate the digital world. "William has taught her how to use FaceTime, so while she can’t physically be with her family, at least she’ll get to see them on video," the source added. "They can’t wait to sing 'Happy Birthday' to her on the phone." It’s moments like these that remind us of the power of technology to bring loved ones closer.

A Year of Challenges and Resilience

We hope Queen Elizabeth is enjoying some much-needed rest and relaxation on her special day. It’s been a tough few months for the royal family, especially after the backlash following Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s decision to step back from their senior royal roles in January. To add to the difficulties, her eldest son, Prince Charles, revealed he tested positive for COVID-19 in late March. Thankfully, Charles announced he was officially recovering from his battle with the virus on April 1.
