Charlotte's parents, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are organising the video call so that she can spend time with her family and friends, while still observing social-distancing guidelines during the coronavirus pandemic, the Metro newspaper reported on Sunday.

The family has been in their Norfolk Home, Anmer Hall since the lockdown was imposed in the UK on March 23.

According to The Sun newspaper, Charlotte's parents were keen to ensure she has "all the fun of a birthday" next week, despite the unprecedented circumstances the pandemic has forced on the world.

"The family has arranged a Zoom party for her, so she can speak to family and friends," a source told The Sun.

"Then, they have put together a full plan that will give her all the fun of a birthday – including cake and games – despite the extraordinary circumstances we are faced with.

"Her great-grandmother will be joining the family call on the big day. As far as Charlotte is concerned, the important part is that her whole family are by her side to say 'Happy Birthday'," the source added.

Prince Philip, who is currently isolating with the Queen at Windsor Castle, is also expected to join the video call.
