The British royal family has gotten some bad news as it’s revealed that they will likely be apart for Christmas amidst the coronavirus pandemic.

A source told People Magazine that Prince William and Kate Middleton “are waiting to hear [about U.K. government guidelines] just like everyone else.”

“The children miss their great-granny, but it’s the same rules for them as everyone,” the insider added.

Queen Elizabeth is currently in isolation at Windsor Castle with her husband, Prince Philip. She has not yet decided whether she will stay there or head to her Sandringham Estate in Norfolk for the traditional Christmas and New Year’s holiday. Regardless of where she goes, it’s been confirmed that the holiday will be scaled back.

While the Queen is undoubtedly unhappy that she may not get to see her family, a former royal staffer said that the 94 year-old monarch may be looking forward to some downtime.

“She might want a rest — you never know,” the ex-staffer explained. “She might be happier for a quieter household this year.”

This comes after it was reported that the Queen’s grandson Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle will remain at their new home in California for Christmas and not return to the United Kingdom for the holiday. Earlier this week, Meghan shocked the word when she revealed that she had suffered a miscarriage in July, and the royal family has expressed their support for her and Harry over this loss.

“There is a lot of sadness around the family,” a source said, according to Fox News.

Meghan opened up about her miscarriage in an op-ed for The New York Times.

“Losing a child means carrying an almost unbearable grief, experienced by many but talked about by few. In the pain of our loss, my husband and I discovered that in a room of 100 women, 10 to 20 of them will have suffered from miscarriage,” she wrote. “Yet despite the staggering commonality of this pain, the conversation remains taboo, riddled with (unwarranted) shame, and perpetuating a cycle of solitary mourning.”

“Some have bravely shared their stories; they have opened the door, knowing that when one person speaks truth, it gives license for all of us to do the same,” Meghan continued. “We have learned that when people ask how any of us are doing, and when they really listen to the answer, with an open heart and mind, the load of grief often becomes lighter — for all of us. In being invited to share our pain, together we take the first steps toward healing.”
