as you alluded to last year it was just her in the duke of edinburgh. this year she will be spending it with some members of herfamily. yeah, normally the queen would have quite a large christmas at sandringham, they give christmas presents on christmas eve, a big christmas lunch at buckingham palace. both of those are cancelled. illegal but i think the queen felt that they simply weren't quite appropriate now to have these big occasions, particularly for the staff at buckingham palace as well. so she made that decision to be just at windsor and should be visited we understand by prince charles and camilla. i think she was hoping to be visited by princess anne and her husband but her husband has now tested positive for covid. so it will be a very small christmas to the one she's used to. and christmas for the queen she is very fond of a big family occasion, she likes to make a big occasion. sol big family occasion, she likes to make a big occasion. so i think it will be particular poignant for her without the duke and again due to covid it will be much
