Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s son Archie is going to turn one on May 6.
The proud parents had some plans to celebrate their kid’s first birthday but now they have been compelled to drop the idea after coronavirus lockdown restrictions were extended.
Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti has announced that the lockdown would be extended through May 15. A business associate of the couple told Daily Mail that Meghan and Harry didn’t want to violate the rules of social-distancing by throwing a birthday party for their son.
”That is absolutely not going to happen now the authorities have extended the restrictions,” one associate told DailyMail.com. Los Angelenos have been told that social distancing remains a priority and parties or gatherings of any sort are out of the question.”
”There is no way that Harry and Meghan could or would even consider throwing a party for family and friends. As special as Archie turning one is, now is the time to take safety more seriously than ever.”
”Their close-knit friend group will have plenty of other opportunities moving forward to come together. There are other events lined up throughout the rest of the year.”
The source also said that Archie’s birthday would have been the perfect opportunity for Meghan and Harry to invite their friends. ”Just last week April 19 was the date restrictions would set to be lifted, but that’s not the case any more for safety reasons.”
The source also spoke about Harry and Meghan’s business and charity’s plans saying the couple are still in ‘full planning mode.’
”They still hope to have Archewell up and running fully by the time the lockdown is lifted,” the associate added. Their desire to make their foundation a success is greater than ever. And what is happening to the world makes them more determined to do good in the world.”
