SHARPLY DRESSED FOR THE OCCASION
Wearing an ivory silk cocktail dress, a design by Angela Kelly, and a brooch given to her by Prince Philip in 1966, the Queen sat in the White Drawing Room at Buckingham Palace to record the Christmas message.
"Through the many changes I have seen over the years - faith, family and friendship have been not only a constant for me but a source of personal comfort and reassurance"

A BUSY YEAR
According to the head of the Royal Family, who has occupied the throne for the past 66 years, people should respect each other despite all their differences.
This may be a reference to Prince Harry's marriage to Meghan Markle, a U.S.-born actress who left behind a life in front of the cameras to become the Duchess of Sussex.
In the #QueensSpeech Her Majesty will reflect on the importance of treating others with consideration:

“Even with the most deeply held differences, treating the other person with respect and as a fellow human-being is always a good first step towards greater understanding.”
But the royal wedding was simply one of the highlights of the year, which also included the birth of Prince William and Kate Middleton's third child, Prince Louis, and Princess Eugenie's wedding to Jack Brooksbank.
It is known as the Scarab brooch, designed by Andrew Grima, and is crafted of yellow gold with a carved ruby and diamond embellishments.

The visit, however, was marked by controversy as the mogul managed to break protocol by arriving 15 minutes late, keeping the Queen waiting, and walking in front of her, something that should never be done.
