"If the weather is nice, William's planning to cook some chicken and burgers on BBQ and play outdoor sports and games as a family – football, chase and hide and seek," a source told the publication.
The insider added William promised to set up a FaceTime call for his grandmother Queen Elizabeth to allow her to talk to the birthday boy from Windsor Castle, where she is isolating with Prince Philip.
