Will Queen Elizabeth Be “Happy For A Quieter Household” During The Holidays This Year?

For the royals, just like families across the globe, the holidays will be much different this year than last year thanks to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Each country is handling the pandemic with a different set of lockdown rules and in the UK updated governmental guidelines will inform how people will celebrate during the nation’s second lockdown.
