Royals, they're just like us!
the ceremony was cancelled for the first time in 68 years. The Queen, it’s said, wished for her staff to stay home amid the COVID-19 pandemic instead.
She spent the day with her husband, Prince Philip. Due to social-distancing requirements, her other extended family members were unable to see her in person. However, the Windsors got creative in sending their well-wishes. The Cambridges shared a picture of the Queen, Prince William, and Kate Middleton at last year’s Royal Chelsea Flower Show. “Wishing Her Majesty the Queen a very happy 94th birthday today!” They wrote, adding a cake and balloon emoji. Meanwhile, Prince Charles posted a touching slideshow tribute that began with him as a baby.
On the royal family’s social media account, they aired never-before-seen footage of the Queen from Her Majesty’s private collection. In it, you see snippets of the Queen as a young girl. As a toddler, she pushes around a toy baby carriage, while later footage shows her on a seesaw with her younger sister, Princess Margaret. She also animatedly rides a horse and plays with a pack of corgis. In one touching scene, she dances arm-in-arm with Margaret.
But those were just the public acknowledgements. Privately, the Queen also celebrated her birthday the way so many of us with March and April birth dates have done: over video chat.
