Despite her royal privileges, Queen Elizabeth II is, like many of us, being kept apart from her family while in coronavirus lockdown.
However, the 93-year-old Monarch is making the most of technology and will send her great-grandchildren Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis a “sweet” surprise on their birthdays.

Speaking on New Idea Royals podcast Angela Mollard said: “The Queen is now completely proficient on online video conferencing.
“All her grandchildren have been sending her chatty little messages.
“Wouldn’t it be lovely if she hopped on and wished them a happy birthday on their special birthdays?”
With the UK’s lockdown measures unlikely to be lifted any time soon, it’s probable that the mini royals will celebrate their birthdays in isolation.
Prince Louis will turn two on April 23 and then his older sister Charlotte will turn five on May 2.
The royal commentator also revealed that fans of the Cambridges should expect to see new photos of the kids on their birthdays.
“As we know, every year on their birthdays, Kate tends to release photographs,” Angela revealed.
“The ones released recently have been really solidifying and uplifting for not just people in Britain, but around the globe.
“I think we can fully expect that on Louis and Charlotte’s birthdays, we will be seeing new pictures of them.”
Meanwhile, the mother of Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, is said to be heartbroken that she is missing the birthdays of her grandchildren this year because of the coronavirus lockdown.
Kate is self-isolating with her husband Prince William, and their children, Prince George, six, Princess Charlotte, four, and Prince Louis, 23-months at their country estate in Norfolk, Anmar Hall.
When the kids celebrate their birthdays, they are unlikely to be able to see their grandparents in person.
Like so many people around the world celebrating milestones in lockdown, the family are heartbroken.
Kate’s father Michael is 70 which means he is in the vulnerable age bracket for coronavirus COVID-19 and is cocooning, while Carole, founder of party supplies business Party Pieces which specialises in children’s birthday parties, can’t be on-hand either.
