The Dukes of Sussex planned to attend the celebration, showing that although they are far they support the monarch. And considering that since November his son has not been in the UK, this was the perfect opportunity to do so.

From the royal family they are planning to hold a smaller celebration to not suspend the event completely, but they are still mulling over the decision. One of the great objectives with these decisions is to protect everyone, and especially Elizabeth II, from the coronavirus. The monarch is one of the people who enter the risk group due to her age. In recent days, he maintains daily contact with his team of doctors, especially considering that he has been in contact with at least three people who have contracted the virus.

After attending a reception at Buckingham Palace to mark the 25th anniversary of Place2Be, a charity that works to improve children's mental health and is sponsored by the Duchess of Cambridge, realizing that two children were celebrating that On her birthday, she joked that she should sing 'Happy Birthday' to them.
Kate then confessed that the classic tune - written by American sisters Mildred and Patty Smith Hill in 1893 - was "one of Louis' favorite songs." Prince William's wife added that her son had not come to the reception to enjoy his music, since the young prince was already "in bed" at that time.
It is not so surprising that Louis enjoyed such a festive song, as the fifth in succession to the British throne has always displayed a very lively character. The little prince, who will celebrate his own birthday in April, has been particularly energetic during his few public appearances.

However, despite the fact that the queen has already given an official message related to the delicate health situation facing Britain (and the whole world) and although she has the support of her grandson William, the 93-year-old monarch has decided who for the fourth time in the history of his long reign (almost 70 years old) will give a special speech (which has already been recorded) that will be broadcast on television and radio next Sunday, April 5, 2020.

The three previous occasions on which Elizabeth II had delivered a speech of this importance (beyond her traditional Christmas speeches) were in 1991 (at the start of the Persian Gulf War) in 1997 (after the tragic death of Princess Diana ) and in 2002 (when his mother died).
Although the queen will most likely give another important message related to the Coronavirus pandemic, considering the few occasions when she has given such a speech, some people begin to suspect if the monarch will take advantage of this space to say goodbye to the throne.
