Until my grandfather's death in 1965 my parents and I always ate Christmas dinner at his house, with various aunts, uncles, and cousins. We always had to stand for the National anthem that preceded the royal message, and were then expected to listen to the message in reverent silence.
Standing for the National Anthem ended with grandfather's death, but I've usually listened to most of one or another of the repetitions of the message, but no longer. It is usually a collection of plattitudes, so even when I saw a link to a recording, I didn't bother.
Has she said anything perceptive or unexpected the fact would have been widely and loudly reported, and I came across no such report.
I feel no ill will towards the queen, but I've lost interest in her pronouncements.
