Even though there won’t be any big celebrations in-person, Prince William shared in an interview with Kate Middleton that they have been keeping in touch with family through video calls.
He told the BBC, “We’ve been talking to all the family online, and it’s been a really good way of keeping in touch and seeing each other. But as you can imagine the younger generation are more tech savvy, but only just. I think we’re getting there now. I think the family are getting a little more used to being able to contact each other and press the right buttons and not dropping the computer halfway through.”
The monarch requested that her traditional birthday gun salute be called off for the first time in 68 years, according to multiple reports. A Buckingham Palace official told Harper’s Bazaar UK the event was cancelled because the Queen thought it wouldn’t be appropriate given the current coronavirus pandemic that has swept the globe. Elizabeth is currently quarantined at Windsor Castle with her 98-year-old husband, Prince Philip, as the rest of the royal family remains isolated at their various residences.
