Queen Elizabeth II Calls For Unity Ahead Of Brexit In 2018 Christmas Message by chuka85(m): 2:28pm On Dec 25, 2018
The UK monarch has remained carefully and deliberately neutral on all political matters in her 66 years on the throne.
But in her Christmas message this year, three months before Britain is due to leave the European Union amid deep political divisions, Queen Elizabeth II appeals for people to show more respect to those with opposing views.
"Even with the most deeply held differences, treating the other person with respect and as a fellow human being is always a good first step towards greater understanding," the Queen will say.
In excerpts of her televised address released by Buckingham Palace on Monday, the 92-year-old also argues that the Christian message of "peace on earth and goodwill to all" is timeless, and "needed as much as ever."
While the Queen never wavers from her politically neutral stance -- she does not mention Brexit directly -- her message ends a year in which the divisions over the issue have widened.
It also comes at a time when national populists surge across Europe and as US President Donald Trump continues to sow division for political gain.

Queen Elizabeth II poses for a photo after she recorded her annual Christmas Day message, in the White Drawing Room at Buckingham Palace in London, United Kingdom.
The message features Queen Elizabeth II sitting at a desk in the White Drawing Room at Buckingham Palace, with a black-and-white photograph of her, Prince Philip and Prince Charles as a baby.
She appears in an ivory silk dress designed by Angela Kelly and a yellow gold brooch with carved ruby and diamond embellishments designed by Andrew Grima -- which was a gift from The Duke of Edinburgh in 1966.
The monarch also will talk about how "faith, family and friendship" have been a "source of personal comfort and reassurance" through the "many changes" she has seen over the years.
In last year's address, Queen Elizabeth II paid tribute to the victims of the Manchester terror attack and the Grenfell Tower fire in London.

I have nothing to say to this and will gladly auction this space to someone who does.

Who knows? It could be the first FTC this year for the highest bidder.

Remaining politically neutral for 66 years i.e despite having the rights to, she still sticks to the ceremonial part of ruling which is her job description and yet common men can't seem to be able to mind their businesses for just 1 day.

Funny thing, the Brits are breaking away from the E.U, but are quick to discourage smaller countries from doing same. HYPOCRITES REFINED.

They are breaking away because they can stand on their own whereas, Biafrians are hoping that Niger Delta will join them so that through oil and gas, they can be sustained.

Yeah keep thinking that. Her Majesty is the only "thing" keeping UK together. They look up to her. Do you know she can fire Theresa May? She has the power but it's rarely used.

I had to log in to reply you.
The queen of England is the most powerful woman on earth.
Forget the annual list being released online that placed her below 10 amongst the most powerful women on earth.
The list is just for showbiz.
The queen of England is a demi god on earth and the only authority she is answerable to, is that of GOD in heaven.
Her words are divine and no body on earth can be placed above her, not even the president of the united States of AMERICA.
