Charlotte’s big Zoom birthday party
Let’s hope great-granny’s got her mic on this time
Every little princess wants their own pony, so we’d expect nothing less from actual Princess Charlotte, who’s apparently been asking for a four-hoofed friend for her upcoming birthday. According to royal insiders, the soon-to-be five year old has a big day in store this week, with Prince William and Kate Middleton planning an extra-special celebration for their daughter. So far, they’ve got video calls, party food, and plenty of games in the works, while brothers George, six, and Louis, two, have been busy making cards. Not too shabby, if you ask us.
“They may not be able to have Charlotte’s friends and cousins over to celebrate, but Kate and Wills are still planning a mini-party at home,” says a royal insider close to the fab five, who are self-isolating at their Norfolk residence Anmer Hall. “Obviously, there will be cake, presents and balloons – Kate’s going to bake the cake. They’ll start the day by having Zoom calls with all their relatives and friends, so that everyone can share Charlotte’s big day and Charlotte can see them all, and then the kids will play games in the garden. Charlotte is quite the tomboy and can out-run George these days.”
Charlotte’s birthday comes days after Louis turned two, and the occasion was marked with some new adorable photos of him. But as for his big sister and that all-important pony, we’re told there hasn’t been an outright “no”. “Charlotte loves animals, and Kate and William know she’s probably going to keep asking until they actually get one for her,” says our source. “They’re not saying one way or another, but this could be Charlotte’s lucky year.” ■
