The queen is reportedly doing very little on her birthday as she continues to self-isolate with her husband Prince Phillip at Windsor Castle during the coronavirus outbreak.
According to the report:
Queen Elizabeth scaled down her birthday celebrations this year due to the coronavirus pandemic. The monarch has requested that there be no special gun salutes to mark her birthday, which is usually celebrated with army cannons being fired in some of the Royal Parks in central London and elsewhere. It is thought that it’s the first time in her reign that the salutes have not taken place.
In March, the former “Suits” actress and Harry managed to get in some quality time with the monarch during their last round of royal engagements in the United Kingdom when they joined her for a Sunday church service.
“It was a really sweet gesture that the Queen asked them to church,” a source told the outlet. “It’s telling in the sense that these two are still her family. And as a family, they all love each other.”
