British Queen changes her Christmas plan
Print Edition
Queen Elizabeth II has decided to break with tradition and celebrate Christmas at Windsor Castle rather than at her Sandringham estate, British media reported on Monday.
The decision comes as Britain is gripped by rising numbers of cases of the Omicron variant of the coronavirus, and the possible introduction of new restrictions.
Britain鈥檚 domestic Press Association news agency quoted an unnamed royal source as saying the decision 鈥渨as a personal one taken after careful consideration.鈥
The 95-year-old monarch will see family at the historic castle west of London over Christmas and 鈥渟ensible precautions and all appropriate guidelines will be followed,鈥 it said.
The Queen has been forced to limit her official duties after an overnight hospital stay in October that prompted medics to advise her to rest.
Last week, she canceled her traditional pre-Christmas family lunch for the second year in succession because of the risk of the spread of the virus.
Last year, strict rules on household mixing indoors and social distancing were in place, preventing her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren as well as cousins from meeting.
