如果说英国人圣诞节有什么特色保留节目，那一定是听25日圣诞节当日下午3点女王的圣诞致辞。这是由女王亲自撰稿、英国政府不提供意见的情况下，公开发表个人看法的演讲。这种机会每年也就只有一次。自1952年开始，伊丽莎白二世女王每年都会在12月25日这天发表致辞，今年已是第66次。
每年的圣诞节，演讲的背景不变，一直就是白金汉宫。英国女王的整体穿衣风格不变，都是圆领得体的裙子配上项链和胸针，显得窈窕淑女，贵族范十足。最重要的是颜色都没有平时的鲜艳。据说是英国女王觉得：镜头里就只有一个人，舒服得体就好。
以往的圣诞节，英国女王圣诞致辞的话题总是围绕着“和平，有爱，家庭，友情”来展开。而在今年伊丽莎白讲到了另一个比较热的话题，就是脱欧的问题。可以说英国女王虽然年纪比较大了，但是还是很关心英国的各个方面的发展。
今年，英国女王伊丽莎白二世发表的圣诞讲话宣扬大家要延续和平与友爱，也会讲到家庭及友情的重要性。 92岁的英女王在位66年，过往较少评论政治事件，但今年英国因为讨论脱欧问题而引起朝野激烈争拗，英国女王就在讲话中呼吁大家，即使持有不同意见，都应该尊重其他人，而这也迈向彼此了解最好的第一步。
Every year on Christmas Day the Queen delivers her annual message to the nation in a tradition started by her grandfather George V in 1932. The Queen’s Christmas Broadcast is one of the few occasions when the 92-year-old head of monarch is entitled to speak freely about her views. The message, recorded on December 12, is written by the Queen and is likely to reference some of the major events of 2018. In previous years she has used the occasion to talk about British and Commonwealth troops serving in Iraq, plus the deaths of the Queen Mother and Princess Margaret.

My father wrote in a letter how and why we were not hit beats me, like others, he lost friends in the war but Christmas we become keenly aware of loved ones who have died, whatever the circumstances is, but of course we would not grieve if we did not love.
Closer to home, it has been a busy year for my family. with two weddings and two babies and another child expected soon. it helps to keep a grandmother well occupied, we have had other celebrations too. including the 70th birthday of the Prince of Wales.
Some cultures believe a long life brings wisdom, I'd like to think so, perhaps part of that wisdom is to recognize some of life's baffling paradoxes, such as the way human beings have a huge propensity for good, and yet a capacity for evil, even the power of faith which frequently inspires great generosity and self-sacrifice can fall victim to tribalism, but through the many changes I have seen over the years, faith family and friendship have been not only a constant for me, but a source of personal comfort and reassurance.本文由精彩英语演讲整理而成，转载请注明出处，否则一律举报处理。
in April the Commonwealth Heads of Government met in London, my father welcomed just eight countries to the first such meetings in 1948, now the Commonwealth includes 53 countries with 2.4 billion people a third of the world's population.
Its strength lies in the bonds of affection it promotes and a common desire to live in a better more peaceful world, even with the most deeply held differences, treating the other person with respect, and as a fellow human being is always a good first step towards greater understanding.
Indeed the Commonwealth Games held this year on Australia's Gold Coast, are known University as the friendly games, because of their emphasis on goodwill and mutual respect.
The Christmas story retains its appeal since it doesn't provide theoretical explanations for the puzzles of life. instead it's about the birth of a child, and the hope that birth 2,000 years ago brought to the world.本文由精彩英语演讲整理而成，转载请注明出处，否则一律举报处理。
