Queen Elizabeth II's annual Christmas speech will be aired tomorrow, Saturday, on the occasion of Christmas Day, the 95-year-old-monarch will place a photo of her and her late husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip, as a tribute to him.

This year, Christmas is considered tough for her Majesty as it is the first holiday season after the death of the Duke of Edinburgh.

She also wore a breathtaking sapphire chrysanthemum brooch, which she wore during her honeymoon in 1947, and she also used the same brooch on the couple’s marriage’s diamond anniversary in 2007.

Her Majesty II will spend Christmas Day with Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales, and the Duchess of Cornwall Camilla.

It was planned that the Queen would spend the holiday with her daughter, Princess Anne, and her husband, Sir Timothy Lawrence, before both the Royal Princess and her husband isolated after Lawrence tested positive for COVID-19.

The 95-year-old Monarch II will not travel to Sandringham where she used to spend her annual Christmas time, staying at Windsor Castle instead.

The Royal source explained that there is rising concern over the situation of the Omicron Coronavirus variant that is sweeping across all the United Kingdom’s regions.

In addition, the palace started imposing more protective measures to protect the Queen and the Royal Family members, for example, the Queen canceled her annual Pre-Christmas family lunch.
