AceShowbiz - Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have envisioned a star-studded party for their son Archie's first birthday which will fall on May 6. However, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are now reportedly forced to scrap the plan for the Los Angeles party as the government extends the coronavirus lockdown restrictions.
Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti previously announced that the stay-at-home order would be extended through May 15, adding that all social gatherings are still forbidden. That left Meghan and Harry with no option other than throwing a quiet birthday celebration for their baby at their new L.A. home.
"It's a shame because Archie's birthday, without the lockdown, offered the perfect opportunity to host a welcome to LA bash for them and their friends," a source claimed. "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."
It was said that the likes of James Corden, Ellen DeGeneres, Oprah Winfrey, Idris Elba, Tom Hardy, Serena Williams, Elton John and George Clooney as well as wife Amal Clooney were among the celebrity guest list for the allegedly canceled party.
In related news, the couple reportedly is donating $112,000, the profits from the broadcast of their royal wedding, to Feeding Britain. It is an organization that is working to alleviate hunger, after having discussed the group's work with the Archbishop of Canterbury.
A spokesman for the two, who moved to Los Angeles from Vancouver Island in March, said that they had "fond memories" of visiting the organization's market and were impressed by the compassion from its workers. "The Duke and Duchess were able to speak to The Archbishop recently, and were moved to hear all about the work Feeding Britain was doing to support people during Covid-19," added the spokesman.
According to Harry's friend Dr Jane Goodall, the prince found the new life in California challenging. "I don't know how his career is going to map out, but, yes, I've been in touch -- though I think he's finding life a bit challenging right now," the 88-year-old said on Radio Times.
