Queen Elizabeth II breaks with a beloved tradition and cancels the start of the Windsor Christmas just five days in advance. The pre-Christmas family reunion does not take place.
Windsor – Just under a week before the big pre-Christmas celebrations, the current corona numbers in Great Britain rise by more than 78,000 cases – the highest daily increase since the pandemic began. Knowing these facts, the British Queen decided to break with the pre-Christmas tradition.
The popular Christmas meeting in Windsor was canceled, according to Mirror, reveals 24royal.de. *
The risk is simply too high for Queen Elizabeth II * (95). The festivities at Sandringham * in small families are also in danger. The monarch would like to spend the holidays in the east of England, according to a high-ranking palace source cited by the Mirror, but she will seek advice on how to do this.
The pre-Christmas extended family dinner, which is an integral part of the Windsors * Christmas traditions, will not take place, the source says. The decision is a precautionary measure as it is believed that too many people’s preparations for Christmas would be jeopardized if the festivities took place. It is regrettable, but they are convinced that it is the right decision for everyone involved.
But it is not just the pandemic that calls for changes. In any case, this year the Queen has to come to terms with unloved facts in the Christmas process *, which is created by the gap left by her late husband Prince Philip * (99, † 2021).
This means that the regent’s plans for a public address in the castle park * as part of the now canceled meeting also fall into the water. * 24royal.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA
