I must admit that I thought Christmas was just for children. I dont know how she does it but I must say thanks for that message today.

A world wide symbol of stability and charity. For all that you have experienced and endured, we can only say thank you. God save the Queen!

When Philippe died it was the beginning of her end. Rip beside your Philippe.What a great lady!

I pray this isn't her last Christmas message. I think she is extraordinary, but I do hope she goes riding beautiful horses with Philip and enjoying her passed on Corgis when she finally leaves us.

What a heartfelt and timely message. Our Queen always knows what to say at the right time. May she grace us all with her presence for many more years. She is a unifying world presence. Grateful to still have her. ❤️🇨🇦

This made me cry. God save the Queen. She will always be in our hearts. Such a beautiful soul.

I have always listened to the Queen’s Christmas speeches all these years. All the speeches were very inspirational. However this year’s speech is particularly emotional to me and I could feel how much the Queen misses her husband, Prince Philip. True love never ends but will continue to thrive and even pass on to the future generations. May the Queen be strong and healthy, and loved for many more years of living. Blessings from Malaysia.

There would never be any better Queen like her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth the 11. We are lucky to have been born during the time of her leadership of the British Monarchy. She has led the monarchy with an extraordinary passion, courage, smartness, in-depth talent, and, an unchallengeable strength. May God bless you Queen Elizabeth.

This is the one message HM writes herself. It reflects exactly what is in her heart and thoughts that she wants to convey to us. Today’s message is especially touching, speaking of her dear Philip.

So utterly moving and appropriate to these days! God bless you, Your Majesty.

[MrAlene]

I'm this uncertain times is good to see a voice of reason and with a message of hope and stability.

From the USA 🇺🇸, God save the Queen! God bless you your majesty, now and always. I mourn with you, but am thankful we will meet HRH the Duke of Edinburgh in paradise.

Thank you for all you do. You are my queen and I am proud to be a faithful follower of all you and Philip stand for. Love from Canada.

There will never be another Queen like our beloved and most gracious Queen Elizabeth II. Beautiful and touching message once again this Christmas but sad to see the very last years of her long reign. After Queen Elizabeth II nothing will ever be exactly the same...unfortunately. God save the Queen!

[grateful]

A beautiful & kind message. She seemed frail and strong at the same time-like all of us globally. May peace, health and love prevail in 2022

[maggieswithenbank]

A beautiful and touching message. God save our gracious Queen! Prayers for her health and to her family from Australia! 🇦🇺
