Prince Andrew Went To The Queen’s Pre-Christmas Turkey Lunch
Queen Elizabeth held her annual family-only pre-Christmas turkey lunch and tree-trimming extravaganza today at Buckingham Palace today. As expected, Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan were no-shows, because they’re on a hiatus from royal functions until next year. But the rest of Her Majesty’s immediate family were there. Like Prince Andrew, who probably walked in to lunch and caused at least one person to whisper, “Ah look, the turkey has arrived.”
Prince Harry And Duchess Meghan Will Skip All Royal Christmas Parties This Season
We already knew that Prince Harry, Duchess Meghan, and Archie would be bailing on Queen Elizabeth’s annual Christmas to-do at her estate in Sandringham, because they wanted to spend Christmas in Los Angeles with Meghan’s mom Doria Ragland. But a source has recently revealed to The Daily Mail that they won’t be at any of The Queen’s holiday parties this year.
The Queen Is Having A Hard Time Writing Her Annual Christmas Speech
Every year on Christmas Day, Queen Elizabeth gives an end-of-year speech, where she reflects on the joys and memories of the passing year. The only problem is that 2019 was the kind of year that would make The Queen wish she could bump her own Christmas Day broadcast with an infomercial for crown polish.
A Royal Source Claims Princess Anne Did Not Intentionally Snub The Trumps
This is terrible news for people who love public acts of pettiness and also hate Donald Trump. The shady shrug felt ’round the world might not have actually been that shady, as it turns out. People magazine says that a British journalist tried to clear the air about Princess Anne’s “These hands are for shrugging, not shaking” gesture at the Buckingham Palace reception for NATO leaders on Tuesday. And according to them, it wasn’t what it looked like.
Princess Anne Might Have Gotten Caught Gossiping About Trump, But She Probably Doesn’t Care
Leaders from North America, Europe, and the UK are currently in London for the 70th annual NATO summit. And whenever Canada’s invited to the party, you can be sure that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will inevitably become the default belle of said ball. Sometimes the spotlight is stolen by Angela Merkel, depending on if she feels up to busting out one of her signature unimpressed looks. But an unlikely dark horse has galloped from the rear and stole the spotlight at this year’s NATO summit, and it was Queen Elizabeth’s only daughter, Princess Anne.
Queen Elizabeth Might Retire In The Next Two Years
Queen Elizabeth is 93 years old, and she’s still out there working (that picture of Liz above is at the opening the Royal Philatelic Society yesterday). It may seem like Queen Elizabeth is the type who will still be up and waving well into her 100s, but a recent report published by Express UK hypothesizes that she’s ready to retire and pass the crown onto Prince Charles.
