Every year the Queen gives a speech on Christmas Day. The photos that the monarch placed on the table are at least as important and will surprise you this year.

Photo series with 32 images

In her traditional Christmas speech, Queen Elizabeth II encouraged grieving and grieving people. “You are not alone,” the British monarch said in the speech broadcast on Friday. For many, the Christmas season is tainted by misery and mourning for their loved ones, others lack friends and family who could not be with them due to the coronavirus pandemic, said the 94-year-old.

“Are you sure of my thoughts and prayers”

The only thing they really want at Christmas is a hug or a handshake. “If you are one of these people, then you are not alone and you are sure of my thoughts and prayers,” said the Queen. The Queen also praised the work of the volunteers during the pandemic: “Good Samaritans have appeared in society and have shown affection and respect for everyone.”

The Queen chose a purple dress for her appearance, paired with a pearl necklace and pearl earrings. Like every year, there was a Christmas tree behind the monarch. Only one thing was different this year: there were hardly any pictures on his table. Only a small portrait of Prince Philip was placed.

Nine months of confinement with Prince Philip

Last year there were Prince William with his entire family or Prince Charles with his wife Camilla. In 2018 you could even see Harry and Meghan. The images usually represent the most important events of the year. But in 2020 everything will be different. And so the queen chose only one image.

The photo of Prince Felipe reflects that she also closed all her contacts during the confinement. The 94-year-old and her husband of five had said goodbye to Buckingham Palace in the spring and moved into their castle in Windsor together. They have been together in isolation for nine months. They also spent Christmas without any relatives.
