According to reports in the British media Queen Elizabeth celebrated her 96th birthday in a low-key event featuring tea and cake. It is understood that the monarch wishes to enjoy the event on her beloved Sandringham estate, where she already landed on Wednesday.
Queen Elizabeth Will Have A Low-Key Birthday Party
The Queen reportedly wants to host a small group of people for the celebration. However, most high-ranking royals, like the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince Charles and Camilla, Princess Anne, and many others, are expected to be among the guests. Most royal experts have openly backed Her Majesty’s decision to go low-key for her 96th birthday.

Many of them claim that the Monarch made a good decision due to her mobility concerns. One royal source said, “The Queen is taking a well-earned break and will mark her birthday very modestly this year. She feels very at home at Wood Farm and close to her beloved husband, and it’s wonderful she was able to travel to enjoy the getaway.”
The Monarch last touched down in Sandringham early this year during her Platinum Jubilee where she played host to an indigenous charity group. Meanwhile, amidst the outpour of beautiful goodwill messages to the sovereign, toy manufacturer Mattel has stolen the spotlight with a classic invention in honour of the Queen.
The company said on Thursday that it will make a Barbie doll that looks like the Queen on her wedding day. Speaking on behalf of the firm, the doll designer, Robert Best, said, “The challenge in designing for the queen comes from designing based on someone who’s real.
The goal is capturing authentic details that people will recognise.” Explaining the concept behind the packaging of the doll, packaging designer Sal Velazquez said, “I was heavily inspired by Buckingham Palace, researching and understanding the context of different rooms inside the palace …
I really gravitated toward depicting Queen Elizabeth inside the throne room, as I thought the Queen’s throne and the red carpeted room with gold elements depicted royalty right away.” The Barbie doll is expected to be available to the general public in early June.
