The Queen was to host about 50 members of the royal family, including the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall, at Windsor Castle on Tuesday, but she has decided to cancel her traditional pre-Christmas family lunch. This is due to the increase in Omicron cases in the UK.
The extended family is also usually invited, including Queen Gloucesters’s cousins, the Duke of Kent, and Michaels of Kent.
This Christmas is the Queen’s first to spend it alone since the death of her 73-year-old husband, the Duke of Edinburgh. The Queen and Philip spent Christmas day together in Windsor in 2020, without the rest of the family, after spending most of the year being cared for by a reduced number of staff due to the pandemic.
Last year’s traditional lunch was also canceled due to Covid-19. It’s already tradition that the Queen invites her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren to join her at Buckingham Palace before she leaves for her annual Christmas stay in Sandringham.
