In 2020, the Queen, like many people around the world, was forced to spend the last Christmas away from her loved ones at Windsor Castle due to the lockdown issued by British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. She died with her husband Prince Philip, who died in April of this year, at the age of 99.

The Queen was ready to welcome the family to Sandringham. “This year, more than ever, it is extremely important for Her Majesty to be surrounded by loved ones,” a source told The Mirror in November.

The statement comes amid controversy over the presence of Meghan and Harry at the annual family gathering, as they declined an invitation last year and spent Christmas in California, where they currently live. A source told The Mirror: “The Queen is fully committed to hosting everyone as she hopes to be healthy in the coming weeks.”
