According to the British media "Daily Star" update on December 15, the case of Omi kerong surged, and the Queen's Windsor party may be affected. It is reported that Christmas is approaching, the Queen is busy discussing the Christmas party at Windsor Castle with the Royal Family, and the Queen is consulting the number of royal family members. As is customary in previous years, the family banquet is ready at this time, but in the current surge in cases of the new crown strain Omilton, it is unlikely that the party, which will be held as scheduled every year, will not go well.
The Queen is not planning to host this Christmas party in Sandlingham, Norfolk, and she is considering whether to downsize the guest list. Guests who come to the party also undergo a lateral flow test in advance.
As is customary every year, the Queen invites her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren to spend Christmas with her at Buckingham Palace, and then she will spend this annual Christmas at Sandringham Manor. The pre-Christmas celebrations also gave the Queen a chance to visit relatives who could not travel to Norfolk for Christmas. At this time, more family members were usually invited, including the Queen's cousins, the Gloucesters, the Duke of Kent, and the Michaels of Kent.
A royal source said: "The Queen is very much looking forward to this party and is also very welcoming to her family for Christmas at Sandringham Manor. Windsor's parties are still weighing, and everything is based on enjoying Christmas in the safest way possible. The Queen is very concerned about the spread of the new crown virus and will take appropriate measures. ”
Any guest attending a Christmas party will reportedly be asked to have a lateral flow test before coming. Some senior members of the royal family also hope to be with the Queen during the festive season, as it will be the first Christmas after the death of her husband, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, who has been with her for 73 years.
The Queen, 95, was asked to rest by royal doctors on October 20 and, after a night of examinations at the hospital, is currently doing only some light work, which includes some live attendance. As recently as 15 December, the Queen welcomed haitham bin Tariq al Said, the head of state of the Sultan of Oman, and his wife at Windsor Castle.
For the guests attending the Christmas party, netizens focused their attention on the "star" couple of Meghan and Harry. This year's Christmas is special, not only the first Christmas that the Queen will face alone after Philip's death, but also the first holiday that Harry's youngest daughter Lilybe will meet with Grandma. According to the report, Harry has previously made up his mind that he must take Meghan and the child back this Christmas, not only to worry about the queen who is not in good health, but also to let the queen see her daughter Lilibe, who was born in June, it seems that this "homecoming" is also a good opportunity for The Harry Meghans to warm up their relationship with the royal family.
