Royals at Christmas: December 3rd, the Queen's Speech

Day three of the royal countdown brings us to the moment where we are three weeks away from the Queen's Speech. So it seems like a good idea to remember how this big moment of Christmas day has unfolded in the last few years.

It was all about George in 2013 as the Queen made her Christmas speech in front of the famous four generations photo from the christening of Prince George with photos of her own parents, Elizabeth and George VI, on either side
