ROBERT LACEY: This wasn't just another Christmas broadcast. In the past few years we've got to know the Queen better, and this year she revealed herself to us more than ever before.
Let the anti-monarchists scoff! Of course we all realise that it's an illusion – that she recorded the message several days ago.This wasn't just another Christmas broadcast. In the past few years we've got to know the Queen better, and this year she revealed herself to us more than ever before. We've been part of history.
'That mischievous enquiring twinkle,' she recalled, 'was as bright at the end as when I first set eyes on him.'In the past 21 months of Covid torment we've had exhortations galore from politicians, but there's been nothing to compare to the Queen's 'We'll Meet Again' speech of April 2020. Let's not forget that Elizabeth II was there at the start, in December 1932 when her adored grandfather George V, the founder of the House of Windsor, read out Britain's first ever Royal broadcast. She was just six.
'It is this simplicity of the Christmas story that makes it so universally appealing – simple happenings that formed the starting point of the life of Jesus.'
