Queen Elizabeth II pays an emotional tribute to her “beloved Philip” in a deeply personal Christmas Day message after a year of great loss for her family and so many others.
The queen's speech was recorded from the White Drawing Room at Windsor on Thursday, with a framed photo of her and Philip arm in arm visible on the desk beside her. The picture was taken in 2007 at Broadlands, Hampshire, to mark the couple's Diamond Wedding Anniversary. She also wore the same sapphire chrysanthemum brooch in the photo and the televised address.
The absence of strict lockdown rules this year meant a return to more traditional holiday travel delays for some U.K. travelers.Despite her sorrow, the queen said that in the months since Philip's death at age 99 she had"drawn great comfort from the warmth and affection of the many tributes to his life and work — from around the country, the Commonwealth and the world."
