Queen’s Christmas Message theme
We haven’t received any indication of what the Head of State will discuss during her annual Christmas message, but it hasn’t been a great year for her. She lost her husband, her own health has been questioned throughout the year and the family itself continues to struggle with negative headlines and general turmoil. It hasn’t been the best year for the rest of the nation either, so we could do with geeing up a bit heading into 2022.
