Meanwhile, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are settling into their new life at Los Angeles, while self-isolating with their son Archie in wake of the coronavirus pandemic. The upcoming Easter festival on Sunday will be the first Easter of Archie, who turns one on Wednesday, May 6, and also the first Easter of the couple as parents.

According to a Hello report, the couple will be spending the day privately as a family in their Los Angeles home, where they shifted in March from their residence at Vancouver Island in Canada just before the US and Canada closed their borders due to the pandemic.

The British royal family traditionally celebrates Easter Sunday by attending church service in Windsor, however, this year's plans were cancelled in wake of the COVID-19 crisis. Meghan could not attend the royal celebration last year as well, her first year as a royal, as she was close to her due date with Archie.
