What if you’re a Google Home user and don’t have an Alexa-enabled device? Don’t worry, you’re still covered. Just say “OK Google, play BBC Radio 4” and Queen Elizabeth’s voice will be broadcast to your home on Christmas.
For international fans of the royal family who would prefer to watch Queen Elizabeth deliver her address rather than listen to it, the BBC will likely upload this year’s speech to YouTube as they have in years past. The history of the monarch’s Christmas broadcast goes back nearly a century. Per the royal family’s official website, the first Christmas broadcast was delivered in 1932 by King George V and is now a beloved Christmas tradition reflecting not just on the holiday but also current events. Queen Elizabeth being able to deliver her speech to a larger audience this year might just start a new tradition across the globe.
