The 95-year-old monarch said that while the Christmas It was a time of happiness for many, it could be difficult for those who had lost loved ones, and this year especially, she understood why, having lost Felipe, 99, in April after 73 years of marriage.
“His sense of service, intellectual curiosity and ability to squeeze fun out of any situation were unstoppable,” he said in his traditional prerecorded holiday broadcast, paying tribute to “my beloved Felipe.”
“That mischievous, inquisitive glow was just as potent in the end as when I first saw it,” he said.
The queen said she knew Felipe would want his family to enjoy Christmas and that there would be joy for them despite the absence of their “family laugh.”
She gave her speech sitting at a desk with a photograph of her and Felipe, standing arm in arm and smiling at each other. The photo was taken in 2007, when the couple were celebrating their diamond wedding anniversary.
Elizabeth spends Christmas at Windsor Castle, west London, for the second year in a row, a break from royal tradition caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. A palace source said this reflected a precautionary approach when the Omicron variant is spreading rapidly.
