Although some traditions have changed due to the pandemic and a particularly challenging year for the British royal family, Queen Elizabeth II decided to keep broadcasting her Christmas speech.
In recent days, the Queen has written down her statements to the country, which this year is transmitting a “purely personal message.”
The British press believes that this will be a particularly heartfelt performance for Elizabeth II, as this is the first performance since the death of her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh.
Buckingham Palace released a photograph of the monarch taken during the recording of her speech, and the image clearly shows the heartfelt and wonderful tribute that Elizabeth II wanted to pay to Prince Philip.
The Queen is seated at a table in the White Living Room of Windsor Castle, and next to her is a frame with a photograph of herself and her husband.
This is a special photograph taken in 2007 in Broadlands to commemorate the Queen and Duke’s wedding anniversary. Then the couple recreated the image of the honeymoon (1947).
Another feature that stands out is the fact that Isabella II wears, in the red dress she chose to record her Christmas speech, the same brooch she used in the two photos mentioned above and where she appeared next to her beloved Filipe.
Let us remind you that the traditional Christmas message will be broadcast on December 25.
