Photograph of TV address released by palace shows Queen sitting next to a portrait of her and Prince Philip
Day message is expected to be a particularly personal one this year, her first since the death of the Duke of Edinburgh.
The handout from the palace shows the monarch wearing an embossed wool shift dress in Christmas red, by the British designer Angela Kelly, as well as a sapphire chrysanthemum brooch the then Princess Elizabeth wore for a photocall on her honeymoon, also to Broadlands, in 1947, and for the couple’s diamond wedding celebrations.This year’s message follows the death of the duke in April aged 99.
Prince Charles, the Duchess of Cornwall, the Wessexes and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester would attend a morning service at St George’s Chapel, Clarence House said. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will be spending Christmas in Norfolk and will be joined by some members of the Middleton family. Buckingham Palace announced on Thursday a service of thanksgiving for the life of the Duke of Edinburgh would take place in spring 2022 at Westminster Abbey.
