The Queen has used her Christmas message to urge a nation divided by Brexit to reconcile, but also added a personal touch by admitting it has been a 'busy year' for her and her family.
Sitting at her desk in the White Drawing Room at Buckingham Palace, the Queen reflected on a year which has seen two of her grandchildren - Prince Harry and Princess Eugenie - get married, and two others - Prince William and Zara Tindall - welcome new babies.
Prince Harry is also expecting his first child with Meghan Markle next Spring, and the Queen joked that her role as a grandmother and great-grandmother kept her 'well occupied' throughout 2018.
As head of state, the Queen remains publicly neutral when it comes to political matters and does not express her views on issues.
