Queen's Christmas speech 2021: What time is it on and how you can watch it

The Queen's Christmas speech is an annual tradition. Broadcasted every year, 8.14 million tuned in to watch her address the nation last year.

For Christmas 2020, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II made a poignant speech in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, offering hope and reminding people that they 'are not alone'.

She highlighted and praised NHS workers as well as mentioning the acts of kindness shown throughout the UK during the year.

This year, the Queen will give her reflections on the 12 months that have passed and we can expect her to mention the hardship the pandemic has brought for a second year.

Although in 2020, the Queen didn't specifically mention the words 'covid' or 'pandemic.'

Queen Elizabeth II is also likely to touch on the loss of her husband, Prince Philip, as she spends her first Christmas without him after 73 years of marriage.

The Queen's Christmas speech is pre-recorded and last year was filmed in mid December with crew following Covid guidelines and it is expected the same will happen again this month.
