Queen Elizabeth shared the pain she felt after the death of her
husband, Prince Philip, as she encouraged people everywhere to
celebrate Christmas with friends and family, despite the grief
caused by the ongoing pandemic.
Saying she understood the difficulty of spending the holiday
season "with one familiar laugh missing," the monarch delivered
her address beside a framed photograph of her arm-in-arm with
Prince Philip, who died in April at age 99. On her right
shoulder was the same sapphire chrysanthemum brooch she wore in
the photo a glittering statement pin that she also wore as a
newlywed.
"Although its a time of great happiness and good cheer for
many, Christmas can be hard for those who have lost loved
ones, the queen said in the prerecorded message broadcast when
many British families were enjoying their traditional Christmas
dinner. "This year, especially, I understand why.
This festive season is the first since the monarch said goodbye
to her husband of more than 70 years in a service in St.
Georges Chapel at Windsor Castle. Coronavirus restrictions in
place at the time meant that the queen sat alone a poignant
reminder of how she would spend her life going forward.
Despite her own loss, the queen said her family was a "source of
great happiness." While she noted that she had welcomed four
great-grandchildren this year, she made no mention of grandson
Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle who famously left their
royal duties behind in 2020. The British monarch also made no
mention of her son Prince Andrew who is facing a civil lawsuit
by Virginia Roberts Giuffre who accused him of sexually abusing
her when she was 17 years old at Jeffrey Epstein's New York
home, as well as in London and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
"While COVID again means we cant celebrate quite as we may have
wished, we can still enjoy the many happy traditions, be it the
singing of carols as long as the tune is well known
decorating the tree, giving and receiving presents or watching a
favorite film where we already know the ending," she said. "Its
no surprise that families so often treasure their Christmas
routines."
