Prime Minister Boris Johnson previously announced that Britons are only allowed to leave their homes to buy necessities, for medical needs, travel to or from work if they are unable to work from home, and once a day exercise. This is an attempt to stop the spread of COVID-19. The rule should be strictly followed for several weeks.
Just like everyone else in the UK and most parts of the world, the Royal family is also practicing the implemented lockdown. That being said, two of Prince William and Kate Middleton’s children may be spending their special milestones while in the emergency protocol.
Prince William, Kate Middleton, and their three young children have moved to their residence in Norfolk after the nationwide lockdown. And it seems like the family will remain in place despite the upcoming birthdays of Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
Princess Charlotte will be turning five in May 2 and Prince Louis will be two years old on April 23. Kate Middleton had always tried to make her kids experience normal things such as having birthday parties with family and friends.
It is also worth noting that Kate Middleton has a family business even before she married Prince William, which is a party supplies business Party Pieces that specializes in children’s birthdays. With her mom Carole being the founder, she may have been helping the Duchess of Cambridge with all of Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis's birthday celebrations. But unless the lockdown is lifted, the Duchess of Cambridge had to cancel all the party plans.
Meanwhile, Prince George and Princess Charlotte’s school released a statement last month that there will be changes to be done as a result of the global health pandemic. The statement explained that because of the coronavirus outbreak, a lot of students and staff weren't able to show up in school. And because of that, Thomas’s Battersea is offering its students a different option.
“Due to the increasing numbers of children and staff being absent from school due to the coronavirus situation, Thomas’s London Day Schools have decided to move to remote learning last Friday, March 20,” the statement read. “From this date, the curriculum will be taught through online learning platforms and we have asked parents to keep their children at home and to access their lessons through this system. This will ensure that children have continuity of learning when they are unable to attend school.”
Thomas’s Battersea noted that it will remain “physically open” for students whose parents are actively working to save everyone from the coronavirus pandemic.
