In Britain, how Queen Elizabeth II and her royal family spend Christmas is not just a matter for her family, but for all Britons. Watching the queen and the royal family members, the princes and princesses, especially the royal children walking on the way to church, this is a big expectation of many British people for Christmas.
However, according to the British "Sun" news on December 21, due to the outbreak of the Aumechjong virus in the United Kingdom, this year, many Britons are going to be disappointed, the Queen will not go to church with the royal family members, she will spend a low-key Christmas, and as expected, the Queen's Christmas arrangement does not have the shadow of Prince Harry and Megan Markle.
In an interview with The Sun, Phil Dampier, a royal expert, spoke about her estimates for the Queen's Christmas this year.
Phil said it was clear that the biggest difference between this year's Queen's Christmas and previous years was that there was no longer the company of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
Prince Philip died in April at the age of 99. After the death of the prince, the 95-year-old queen suddenly became much more haggard, and her physical condition was obviously not as good as in previous years.
Due to the impact of the new crown virus, this year's royal Christmas party will be small. The United Kingdom currently allows 30 people to gather, and the royal family will be smaller in size, expected to be more than 10 people, the participants are the most core members of the royal family, including Prince Charles and his wife Camilla, the Duke of Cambridge, Prince William and Kate Middleton, the Duke of Wessex, Prince Edward and Princess Sophie, The Duke of York, Prince Andrew, Duke of York.
Prince Harry, duke of Sussex, who was once the Queen's most beloved grandson, and his wife, Meghan Markle, were apparently not on the Queen's list.
In fact, although the Christmas arrangement is a warm thing for the royal family, it will always bring all kinds of unpleasant feelings in Megan.
For example, at Christmas 2018, the Queen made pudding with Prince Charles, Prince William and Prince George jr. and posted a warm photo, which seemed warm to the British, but in Meghan's view, it was unfair to have No Prince Harry and Little Archie.
In 2020, when the Queen delivered her Christmas message, there were no photos of Harry and Meghan on the table next to her, which made Meghan feel alienated from the royal family.
Back at the party, Phil said that the Queen's family will have a drink before 1 p.m. on Christmas, a dinner party at 1 p.m., and a dinner party that will end before 3 p.m., because at that time, the royals will watch the Queen's speech on TV together.
The food for the royal dinner will come from the royal estate, including Scottish lamb and salmon.
Previous years of exchanging Christmas gifts and word puzzles will also be cancelled.
Meghan and Prince Harry's youngest daughter, Lilybert, was born in June, and the Queen has not yet met her great-granddaughter of the same name, which is always sad for the 95-year-old Queen.
