Christmas 2022: How will Royal Family celebrate occasion without Queen? Know here

For some, the best part of Christmas was gathering around the TV on December 25 to watch the Queen's speech. This year, however, everything will be different because Her Majesty has passed away. She died on September 8, 2022.

Queen Elizabeth II was known to host Christmas every year at the Sandringham Estate. Will this continue after she dies? How else will the Royal Family's Christmas traditions change this year?

Since the Covid-19 pandemic changed plans for 2020 and 2021, this will be the first time since 2019 that the family will have a real Christmas at Sandringham. People think that the Waleses will be there, and that Prince Louis will take part in the walk to St. Magdalene's Church on Christmas Day for the first time.




This year, Queen Consort Camilla is expected to invite her own children, which is another change from past years. A source, "Camilla wants her family to be at the centre of Christmas, especially since Charles won't be there with his youngest son”.

During her reign, Queen Elizabeth II gave a Christmas Day speech every year except 1969. But this year, King Charles III, her son, will be the first male monarch to give a Christmas Day speech on TV.
