That's one way of putting it 😬
The Queen will acknowledge the ‘bumpy’ path that both the royal family and the nation has experienced over the last year in her Christmas Day message.
The Queen will comment on how ‘small steps taken in faith and in hope’ can be significant, and ultimately break down ‘long-held difference’.The head of state will also highlight the 75th anniversary of the Second World War D-Day landings, and how former ‘sworn enemies’ joined together in friendly commemorations to mark the milestone in 2019.
During the past 12 months, the most significant and damaging event for the monarchy was Andrew’s appearance on the BBC’s Newsnight programme, which has left his reputation in tatters. Meghan also described being a member of the royal family over the past years as ‘hard’ and said she was not prepared for the level of tabloid newspaper interest in her life since her marriage to Prince Harry.
The duke faced criticism for taking too long to contact the occupants of the other car and for being seen driving without his seat-belt in the days that followed.
