The Royal broadcast begun in 1932
The Queens first one was 1952 First pre-recorded was 1960 There wasn't one in 1969 for some reason which I can't be bothered to look up, but if anyone knows why? |

It will go something like this ...
At times like these ones thoughts turn to one friends and family. This is particularly true when ones family is the family of the commonwealth. Thoughts turn to our armed forces overseas and those who are in armed conflicts around the globe. It is a time of year when all faiths can come together In peace and harmony just like one does with ones loved ones over the Christmas dinner table. Etc etc ..:. |

The Queens first one was 1952 First pre-recorded was 1960 There wasn't one in 1969 for some reason which I can't be bothered to look up, but if anyone knows why? Gives details of all the Royal Christmas messages over the years, including 1969. Quote:
No Christmas address was given by the Queen (in 1969), as Elizabeth felt that, between the investiture of her son, Prince Charles, as Prince of Wales and the release of the documentary Royal Family, she had had enough coverage on television; concern expressed by the public prompted the Queen to issue a statement that assured a return to tradition in 1970.[5] The Queen's written message acknowledged the end of the 1960s and the decade's significance for being the time when men first walked on the moon. She also stated that she was looking forward to her visit the next year to Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Tonga and northern Canada. She also expressed her concern that "the lonely, the sick and the elderly" all feel the warmth and companionship of Christmas.[70]

The point of recording it is so that she can watch it at 3pm with everyone else while semi-sloshed
There was an early episode of QI where they went into remarkable detail about what happens at Sandringham on Christmas Eve and Day. |

If the Queen died between recording the message and Xmas Day, would it still be broadcast? Personally I would very much doubt it, maybe replaced by a message from Charles thanking everyone for their thoughts etc.
But somewhere there'll be a protocol I suppose. I understand if the queen dies tv will stop broadcasting with only news bulletins shown ,about the queen dying or at least that was the plan a few years ago it will now be 24/7 news with newsreaders camping outside of the various palaces for days Edit Found this http://uk.businessinsider.com/what-h...ii-dies-2015-3 |

That's a fantastic idea, I would definitely tune in if she was juggling oranges. You should suggest this for next year.

BBC announced this morning that she recorded it days ago. Doesn't matter to me, I never watch her anyway.

If the Queen lives to 100, will she have to send a message to herself?

Yes, i remember her doing it live, but not for a few years now.
Or am I mixing it up with Sam Fox and the Brits? Do that all the time

Well I watched the Queen's speech today. Blinked and that was it. 5 minutes if that. Sure they used to be longer. Must be the person propping her up got tired.

So apparently it appears Charlie boy can call himself any of his given names on his ascension to the throne? We may possibly have either King Arthur (with his Knights of the Round Table), or King Zorghthlikastet of the Reptilians then.
