If there’s one thing that Christmas is like for the Royals, it’s traditional. From being weighed before they begin the celebrations at Sandringham to opening their presents on Christmas Eve, the festive season for the royal family is full of traditions that many of us would consider weird or wacky.

Queen Elizabeth has made a touching tribute to her late husband Prince Philip during her Christmas Day speech.The 95 year old monarch, who was not seen at church on Christmas Day, recalled her husband's "mischievous, enquiring twinkle" in the pre-recorded speech. Queen Elizabeth's husband Prince Philip passed away age 99 in April this year, which means this Christmas is the Queen's first without her beloved husband by her side for 73 years.

The Queen shared her sympathies for "those who have lost loved ones" as she marked her first Christmas since Prince Philip's death. In her annual address, the 95 year old Monarch paid tribute to the Duke of Edinburgh, who died at the age of 99 in April this year.

The Queen namechecked Prince Charles and Prince William in her Christmas Day address – but made no mention of the Duke of Cambridge’s brother, Prince Harry. Queen Elizabeth’s 2021 speech saw her pay tribute to her “beloved” Prince Philip, remembering his “mischievous, enquiring twinkle” and commending his “sense of service, intellectual curiosity and capacity to squeeze fun out of any situation”.

From eating mince pies to playing classic board games, every family has their festive traditions.

Queen Elizabeth II is paying tribute to her late husband, Prince Philip, this Christmas.In a first look at the Queen's Christmas Day speech, the 95-year-old monarch was seen wearing the sapphire chrysanthemum brooch that she wore for a photocall on her honeymoon in 1947.

The Queen has paid a touching tribute to her late husband Prince Philip in her Christmas Day message by wearing the same sapphire brooch that she wore during their honeymoon in 1947. Her Majesty, 95, who is facing her first Christmas without the late Duke of Edinburgh after 73 years of marriage, is spending another year at Windsor Castle after measures have been taken due to concerns of the spread of the omicron variant of coronavirus.

Queen Elizabeth, much like Kate Middleton, usually prefers to do her own makeup for the most part of the year.The only exception is her annual Christmas Day broadcast, when she apparently asks makeup artist Marilyn Widdess for expert help. With COVID-19 cases on the rise, and the possibility of restrictions being imposed last-minute, does this mean the Queen will have to do her own makeup for her 2021 speech? We asked royal author Duncan Larcombe for his take on the situation.

Christmas will look a little different for the royal family this year.

Princess Anne's husband Sir Timothy Laurence has reportedly tested positive for Covid-19.The Queen's Christmas plans have been thrown into further chaos as it is now unlikely the 95 year old monarch will spend the festive day with her daughter. According to MailOnline, the 66-year-old retired Royal Navy Vice Admiral sent out emails on Monday to those he had been in close contact with that he had tested positive for the virus.

Her Majesty the Queen is gearing up to spend the second Christmas in a row at Windsor Castle. Due to the pandemic, the monarch has taken the decision to downsize her Christmas plans.

As the first Christmas since the COVID-19 vaccine was administered, it seemed like gatherings could start feeling somewhat normal again. However, the Queen is saying otherwise—and it may impact Prince William and Kate Middleton’s Christmas plans.

'Operation Omicron' is now underway at Buckingham Palace to ensure The Queen is not alone at Christmas, an insider says.The monarch could be without some of her nearest and dearest if her plans to spend the festive season at Sandringham are cancelled. After her decision to scrap next week's traditional pre-Christmas dinner for up to 50 family members due to soaring Covid cases, sources have previously said that 'all plans are under consideration' - including her annual trip to Norfolk.

The Queen is said to have missed church on Sunday 19 December to try and avoid the coronavirus from ruining her Christmas plans. Queen Elizabeth, 95, is said to have cancelled her routine Sunday service commitments on the Windsor Castle estate to avoid the risk of becoming infected with the deadly virus.The monarch, who's grandson Prince William is said to have "cut all socialising" so he can spend Christmas with her, is said to have opted to "cut down" on her social interactions, too.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have agreed to cancel any social events they have planned in the run-up to Christmas. This is so the Royal couple can spend time with William's 95-year-old grandmother, The Queen on Christmas Day.

When it comes to Christmas, one of the reasons why it’s the most wonderful time of the year is because of the food on offer. From overindulging on too many pigs in blankets, tucking into a tub of mini chocolates or eating mince pies by the tray load, nothing beats a good festive treat.

Queen Elizabeth II is taking precautionary measures to ensure she and her family stay safe this Christmas.

The Queen has "regretfully" decided to cancel the Royal Family's annual pre-Christmas party and lunch as Omicron fears continue to grow. As cases continue to surge in the UK, Her Majesty reportedly feels that the “risk” is too high on the rest of the family’s plans over the Christmas period.
