Queens Christmas Speech

Good idea Merlot I will get the Palace on the blower later to discuss it.?

Love the Queen and will always watch it at some point over Christmas.

I had to laugh at Jeremy Corbyn when asked if he watched the Queen's Speech. He spluttered and fluffed and hadn't a clue whether it was Christmas Day or Pancake Tuesday.
No way could he run the country. It's like watching Will Hay all over again------for those who remember him.

Saying that, the other one isn't much better and would have fared better in Dad's Army.
We really are the laughing stock !

I admire the Queen, always have done and for her age now would put many to shame.

No I don’t watch Queens speech it’s all pretty nonsense isn’t it
Why she’s doesn’t retire like her husband I can’t imagine Is it a control thing she can’t bear to give up because I think Charles would be a safe pair of hands and she could have a little rest

Maybe she should get Joanna Lumley to do a voice-over, lemon

Ah, yes, Archie....I think I once saw his little foot.
Been a while though, is he at school yet? ?

I have never seen the Queen’s Speech....it’s that voice!
If she had a mellifluous sort of voice I may have listened now and then.

it was funny that Corbyn pretended he had watched it.....bonkers

Oh dear! Another case of getting the name wrong! She looked very pretty.

In fairness, her Annus Horibilis - a son and daughter divorce,
a daughter in law writes a book, same daughter in law’s telephone conversation with a lover is broadcast for all to hear
and a fire at Windsor .

A bloody awful year surely ?

Little Archie. The disappearing baby.

Beatrice is the oldest one who recently got engaged, her upcoming Wedding is highly likely to not look like the Windsor Castle event of Harry and her sister Eugene.

Well, there was Beatrice's wedding. And those lovely kids enjoying themselves. And little Archie coming along.

Well, I've enjoyed it.

Good things? such as...……..

Of course we listen to it. At the 3 pm broadcasting.

I don't think it will be another "Annus Horribilis". Good things have happened as well as the bad.

Even if you wanted to, you couldn't watch it on Christmas morning.

Tell Jeremy Corbyn and Angela Rayner.

I have never watched it, zero interest to me.

We were made to listen to it - until we left home. Now, I might just scan a summary of what she said. Will it be another 'annus horribilis' do you think?

It's not on Christmas morning, it's on at 3pm in the afternoon.

Is Jeremy Corbyn on here?

I always watch it, but later. If we (DH) and I were on our own, we would have Christmas dinner over by 3 o’ clock, and watch it then, but seeing as we are with DS, DIL and two GC’s who are not remotely interested in the Royal Family and we are probably either still round the table, washing up or playing some game, I never even suggest it.
It was very much part of Christmas Day when I was young, but change happens.

Same as ninathenana said.

Even if you wanted to, you couldn't watch it on Christmas morning.

I've never purposely turned on TV or radio to listen, I've only heard the bits replayed on the news.

I have never watched it.

I don't watch it Christmas morning, Christmas at 3pm or Boxing day morning.

I am not keen on the Royal family, I am pragmatic and understand similar money would be spent on elections and a President.

We don't usually watch it when it's on but catch up with it a bit later.

When I was growing up we ate Christmas Dinner at 1pm so everything was eaten, washed up and put away by the time the Queen's Speech came on. These days we are probably still at the table (or crashed out on the sofa )
