The Queen crops Charles out of her Christmas message

The Queen always judges her Christmas message perfectly – and today was no exception. As she knows, her subjects are mad keen on Kate & Wills. So she spent the longest chunk of her piece-to-camera with a picture of them, plus kids, facing the camera.

To justify that, she flashed a small shot of Charles & Camilla beforehand – it didn’t last more than a few seconds.
