In her Annual Christmas Broadcast, Queen Elizabeth II acknowledged her family’s many milestones on Tuesday, before giving a sweet shout-out to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s baby, who is due next spring.
“It’s been a busy year for my family, with two weddings and two babies, and another child expected soon. It helps to keep a grandmother well occupied,” the queen joked. The 92-year-old monarch also referenced her son, Prince Charles’, recent milestone birthday last month. “We have had other celebrations too, including the 70th birthday of the Prince of Wales,” she said.
“Through the many changes I have seen over the years, faith, family and friendship have been not only a constant for me but a source of personal comfort and reassurance,” she continued. “Even with the most deeply held differences, treating the other person with respect and as a fellow human being is always a good first step towards greater understanding.”
The queen’s speech comes as the royal family got together for services at the Church of St. Mary Magdalene at Sandringham on Tuesday morning. Meghan, Harry, Kate and William couldn’t have looked happier, and according to royal expert Katie Nicholl, the holiday was all about putting aside their differences.
