The Queen always judges her Christmas message perfectly – and today was no exception. As she knows, her subjects are mad keen on Kate & Wills. So she spent the longest chunk of her piece-to-camera with a picture of them, plus kids, facing the camera.
To justify that, she flashed a small shot of Charles & Camilla beforehand – it didn’t last more than a few seconds.
After that box was ticked, the camera zoomed in so the two of them slipped out of shot and we were just left with the five most popular royal figures in full view. Deftly done, your majesty.
