The Queen's Christmas Message and the Alternative Christmas Message




The Queen's Christmas Message

Firstly, the Christmas Message is not the Queen's Speech, another speech which is given to Parliament when it opens.

The Queen's Christmas message is broadcast on Christmas Day, December 25th, every year, at 3 pm UK time, giving those in the UK time to eat and clear their Xmas dinner (ie lunch). It is broadcast on BBC TV and radio. It lasts ten minutes. it has an impersonator doing the queen and an animation of the queen dancing. 

Alternative Messages

Deepfake on Channel 4 at 3.35 pm UK time. Will mention Meghan and the Canadians, and Edward and the USA.

Your Messages

If you are feeling lonely, send goodwill messages to friends and family - and even acquaintances.
