Why the Queen's speech sparked controversy this year - Yahoo Lifestyle

Every year at 3pm on Christmas Day in the UK, the Queen delivers her heartfelt Christmas message that gets broadcasted across the nation.

And while this year Her Majesty spoke beautifully on finding unity in the midst of Brexit and encouraged people to maintain goodwill and ‘put aside their differences,’ some watchers were not impressed by her delivery.

For some, to say a speech of that manner on Christmas Day while being surrounded by lavish gold decor was a little ‘out of touch’.

The Queen’s speech was recorded in the White Drawing Room at Buckingham Palace where a grand golden piano sits in the background as well as a stunning fireplace and a Christmas tree larger than most family households ever have.

So for some people, the stark contrast between royal opulence and what the mundane person can afford sparked a bit of disharmony this Christmas.

“Always warms an old republican’s heart to see the billionaire head of an antiquated institution, surrounding themselves with gold in their modest 775-roomed detached home, while others are f***ing struggling to make ends meet,” one person posted to Twitter.

 

“I don’t understand the criticism old Mrs Windsor is getting over her gold piano while she lectures her subjects. It’s a fairly standard piece of furniture. I keep mine next to my diamond encrusted microwave,” another joked.

However, on the other hand, some people thought the Queen’s message this year was just perfect and have been praising her on Twitter.
