Queen Elizabeth II is the longest-serving and reigning monarch alive. She has been reigning for 64-years.
She acceded the throne in 1952 when George VI died.
While in recent years the Queen has spent Christmas at Sandringham in Norfolk, this year, the Queen has decided to cancel it because of the new wave of COVID-19.
Why did Queen Elizabeth cancel spending Christmas in Sandringham?
The Queen will instead spend Christmas at Windsor Castle, where she’ll be joined by other members of the royal family.
The 95-year-old monarch had intended to follow tradition by spending Christmas at her royal residence in Norfolk.
However, she has cancelled her plans due to the rising levels of the Omicron variant in the U.K.
