Queen Elizabeth II is getting a few royal birthday wishes for her big day.
The British monarch turns 94 Tuesday, which prompted her family of royals to take to social media to wish her well.
Prince William and Duchess Kate posted a photo with the queen to their social media accounts.
"Wishing Her Majesty The Queen a very happy 94th birthday today!" they wrote with cake and balloon emojis.
Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla also celebrated the big day with multiple photos (old and new) of the queen.
"Wishing Her Majesty The Queen a very Happy 94th," their message read.
Even the queen's Instagram account posted in celebration, sharing rare footage of the monarch when she was a child.
"Thank you for your messages today, on The Queen’s 94th birthday," the video was captioned. "In this private footage from the @royalcollectiontrust, we see The Queen (then Princess Elizabeth) playing with her family, including her younger sister Princess Margaret."
The queen is ringing in her birthday without any of the usual pomp or party this year as the world faces the coronavirus pandemic.
She has asked that there be no gun salutes to mark her special day and has chosen not to celebrate, the BBC and Harper's Bazaar UK reported, both citing unnamed Buckingham Palace officials.
Gun salutes – firing blanks to mark special occasions – are typically made in various locations across the country, according to Reuters. The queen has deemed the action inappropriate due to the circumstances.
The United Kingdom has had over 125,000 positive cases of coronavirus, and 16,509 people have died as of Tuesday morning, according to Johns Hopkins data. Britain is still in a national lockdown, which will continue for at least three more weeks.
Princes Charles, the queen's 71-year-old son and heir to the crown, tested positive for COVID-19 last month after displaying mild symptoms.
