Serradinho says children on Friday will be dressed the in red, blue and white of the Union Jack flag on Friday.
A number of street parties have also been organised in the capital. Serradinho says she will be also hosting a small tea party.
"Which will hopefully turn into BBQ with some celebrating, some drinking and some festivities."
Serradinho says her guests will all take turns impersonating a member of the royal family.
"So I have a mask of Charles and Camilla, the queen and Prince Philp, Harry and Meghan, and Kate and William, so we will all be taking a chance playing one of the royal members."
She adds on the day she will be playing Kate, the good sister in-law, helping Meghan to fit into her new role.

"Things like these do lift the mood of the nation, everyone is excited, everyone is on board."
