Each year at Christmas, the message of the Queen of England, Elizabeth II, is awaited and relayed around the world. She began her vows with a very personal message, paying tribute to her husband Philippe, who died this year.
“Christmas can be difficult for those who have lost loved ones. This year, in particular, I understand why “, said Queen Elizabeth II, whose husband died last April, during her vows on Saturday, December 25. This moving message from the Queen was eagerly awaited by the British. “It had been weeks since they had seen their queen speak publicly for so long, since her hospitalization last October”, indicates the journalist Maëlys September, live from London (UK).
Against this backdrop, the Queen’s Christmas speech was highly anticipated in the UK. “The 95-year-old sovereign appears in it rather in good shape even though the speech was recorded a few days ago. The queen finally delivers a very personal and very moving message. She talks less about Covid-19, while the figures have jumped in the United Kingdom for a few weeks “, continues the journalist.
