Her Majesty the Queen has cancelled her traditional pre-Christmas family lunch as she “feels it is the right thing to do” as Omicron cases are surging in the UK.
A senior palace source said, “The Queen is regretful, but feels it is the right thing to do.”
The Queen feels it “could put too many people’s Christmas arrangements at risk if it went ahead,” it is understood.
It is further understood Her Majesty will still host for immediate family at Sandringham over the Christmas holiday and the Queen is expected to take advice if it is safe to do so, the Daily Mirror reports.
