Us Weekly: Prince William and Kate Middleton Change Prince Louis' 2nd Birthday Plans Amid Pandemic
As no guarantee can be made about the fate of the current pandemic, Prince William and Kate Middleton are left with no choice than to call off Prince Louis’ birthday party.
As parents, Prince William and Kate Middleton would want their son’s birthday party to be memorable with a big celebration. However, having a party would seem impossible amid the coronavirus pandemic.
NEW PLANS FOR LOUIS’ BIRTHDAY
The royal couple decided to put everyone’s safety first and cancel their youngest son, Prince Louis’ second birthday party, but will still celebrate the special day in their own way. An insider said:
“They’ll just do something smaller with immediate family only. If the weather is nice, William’s planning to cook some chicken and burgers on BBQ and play outdoor sports.”

Included in their celebration are games such as “football, chase, and hide and seek” as well as a birthday cake for the celebrant. Another insider told Closer Weekly of their initial plans:
“She and William were planning a get-together at Anmer Hall the weekend before, with all his little friends and an entertainer.”
Despite living nearby, Markle’s mother, Doria Ragland, also cannot see her grandson in person until things are back to normal.
AWAY FROM FAMILY
Sadly, Queen Elizabeth II won’t be able to celebrate with her grandson on his special day, as she is in self-isolation at Windsor Castle with her husband, Prince Philip.
However, she will still be able to see Louis as “William’s promised that he’ll FaceTime her with Louis on his birthday,” according to the source.

The UK has over 50,000 cases of coronavirus, including high profile individuals like Prince Charles and Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
The situation has changed life as the royal’s know it. Prince George and Princess Charlotte have since been homeschooled due to the pandemic.
PRINCE HARRY AND MEGHAN MARKLE AMID CORONAVIRUS
Although far away from his family, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have also been isolated in the Los Angeles home.
Together with their son, Archie, and pet dogs, the royal family has stayed within the four walls of their gated mansion, with Markle being extra obsessed with cleanliness.
Despite living nearby, Markle’s mother, Doria Ragland, also cannot see her grandson in person until things are back to normal.
The family-of-three initially planned to live in Vancouver Island, Canada, but instead moved to California, where the couple can both work.
