Chris, Victoria and Scott sat in the sitting room and watched the television as the Queen delivered a speech today, addressing the country's concerns.
"I am speaking to you at what I know is an increasingly challenging time.
A time of disruption in the life of our country: a disruption that has brought grief to some, financial difficulties to many, and enormous changes to the daily lives of us all.
I want to thank everyone on the NHS front line, as well as care workers and those carrying out essential roles, who selflessly continue their day-to-day duties outside the home in support of us all.
I am sure the nation will join me in assuring you that what you do is appreciated and every hour of your hard work brings us closer to a return to more normal times.
I also want to thank those of you who are staying at home, thereby helping to protect the vulnerable and sparing many families the pain already felt by those who have lost loved ones.
Together we are tackling this disease, and I want to reassure you that if we remain united and resolute, then we will overcome it.
I hope in the years to come everyone will be able to take pride in how they responded to this challenge.
And those who come after us will say the Britons of this generation were as strong as any.
That the attributes of self-discipline, of quiet good-humoured resolve and of fellow-feeling still characterise this country.
The pride in who we are is not a part of our past, it defines our present and our future.
The moments when the United Kingdom has come together to applaud its care and essential workers will be remembered as an expression of our national spirit; and its symbol will be the rainbows drawn by children.
Across the Commonwealth and around the world, we have seen heart-warming stories of people coming together to help others, be it through delivering food parcels and medicines, checking on neighbours, or converting businesses to help the relief effort.
And though self-isolating may at times be hard, many people of all faiths, and of none, are discovering that it presents an opportunity to slow down, pause and reflect, in prayer or meditation.
It reminds me of the very first broadcast I made, in 1940, helped by my sister. We, as children, spoke from here at Windsor to children who had been evacuated from their homes and sent away for their own safety.
Today, once again, many will feel a painful sense of separation from their loved ones. But now, as then, we know, deep down, that it is the right thing to do.
While we have faced challenges before, this one is different. This time we join with all nations across the globe in a common endeavour, using the great advances of science and our instinctive compassion to heal.
We will succeed – and that success will belong to every one of us. We should take comfort that while we may have more still to endure, better days will return: we will be with our friends again; we will be with our families again; we will meet again. But for now, I send my thanks and warmest good wishes to you all." The Queen said.
"That was beautifully said," Scott said.
Victoria nods.
"Yes, it was such a moving speech," Victoria said.
"She's amazing for delivering a speech that no one else in the world is capable of delivering," Chris said.
Chris has been calling out President Trump on his comments about the pandemic, Victoria's staff had to have a talk with Chris to pull back on his political tweets against republicans like Donald Trump.
Recently, both William and her father contracted COVID-19. Of course, they are both doing well, but it was such a scary experience for Victoria as she thought she may have lost both her elder brother and father at the same time.
Victoria looked at the time and sighed.
"I have a zoom call to join so I'll see you guys later," Victoria said as she got up from the sofa.
"Okay," Scott said.
"I'll have lunch ready for you after your zoom call," Chris said.
"Okay, thank you," Victoria said.
Victoria walked to her study. As the UK adapts to the Coronavirus outbreak, The Royal Family has had to cancel or postpone engagements to ensure public safety - so they have turned to phone calls and zoom video calls to connect with their charities.
Victoria entered her study and walked to her desk before checking her schedule and her notes before she joins the zoom call.

"If you eat another one of my muffins, Chris, I will hurt you!" Victoria exclaimed as she stoically look at him, her lips set in a thin line.
Chris stares at her with a playful smile, challenging Victoria's threat. Victoria's breath catches her throat as Chris raises another muffin to his lips.
"It put down now, Christopher!" Victoria said as she moved to grab the muffin from Chris.
Chris raises the muffin out of her reach and gives her a dazzling smile.
"No," Chris said as he wraps an arm around her waist and pulls her close to his body.
Victoria pouts as Chris keeps the muffin out of her reach.
"This is your last muffin," Victoria said.
Chris smiles and quickly eats the muffin before Victoria can say anything else.
"You know you can always just go get some more from Catherine," Chris said.
"I know but I don't want to keep bothering her to make some muffins," Victoria said.
Chris smiled.
"Then let's learn to make some muffins from YouTube," Chris said, wagging his eyebrows playfully as he grabs his iPad to search for a muffin recipe.
"Fine, hopefully, we don't burn down the kitchen," Victoria said.
