The Queen's heartbreaking year set to make NOT break the Royal Family as she prepares to come back ‘stronger than ever'

Queen Elizabeth II visits the British Airways headquarters to mark their centenary year at Heathrow Airport

The Queen has had a heartbreaking year, but it seems that the difficult moments could actually secure the future of the Royal Family rather than break them. 

The Queen has gone through an imaginably difficult year in 2021, losing her “strength and stay” Prince Philip, as well as facing the fall-out from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Oprah interview. Whilst rumours of a “rift” between the Sussexes and The Firm continue to circulate, the Queen has yet to meet her baby great-granddaughter, Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor. And with reports suggesting Harry and Meghan won’t join her for Christmas in the UK, it’s not known when the Queen might get to see any of the Sussexes next. 

Not only that, but she’s experienced so many emotional moments in 2021 whilst the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic are still very much felt. Comparisons have already been made to her “annus horribilis” or “horrible year” in 1992, where three royal marriages ended in separation and a fire broke out at Windsor Castle. However, now it’s been suggested that 2021 could actually make and not break the Royal Family.

As reported by The Mirror, Charles Anson, the Queen’s press secretary from 1990-1997, told a new Channel 5 documentary that the Royal Family’s “strength” lies in its adaptability. 

“The strength of our monarchy is that it is able to adapt,” he reportedly explained. “It’s changing and I think providing the values are still there, it often changes for the better.”

Meanwhile, the documentary producer Stewart Purvis supposedly added, “In the last year, the Queen has lost her husband [and] she’s got a grandson who is semi-detached. But she has symbolised so much of what we hope for from a royal family that, in a sense, I think the respect for her is stronger than ever.”

He continued, “I think the future of the Royal Family is more secure as a result of the way she’s steered us through these difficult months.”

The Queen has certainly been an inspiring figure to many people in recent months, remaining committed to her royal duties despite her personal grief. Her Majesty has now returned to “light” duties after recently spraining her back and it’s been suggested that the Queen is set to leave Windsor Castle for Sandringham for the festive period. 

Last year the Covid-19 restrictions meant that the Royal Family broke with Christmas tradition and didn’t celebrate together. In December, there’ll no doubt be many people eager to seeing the royals reunite to mark the first Christmas since losing Prince Philip. 

Though the Queen has faced an incredibly heartbreaking year, the “respect” for her steadfast approach to her royal role and her love for her family is wonderful to see.

How to cook turkey crown: The best turkey crown recipe

Image
A turkey crown makes a handsome centrepiece on the Christmas table and is the ideal turkey option for smaller festive gatherings. A turkey crown is a whole turkey with the legs and usually the wings removed, so just the white breast meat is left on the bone. It is also possible to buy a deboned stuffed turkey crown where the bones are removed making it extra easy to carve. Both are an ideal choice for a smaller Christmas fest as there is less meat. And although very similar, we do find a turkey crown a bit simpler to cook than a whole turkey. As when cooking an entire bird there can be a difference in cooking times between the light and dark meat. Turkey crowns are readily available from supermarket and butchers in the weeks leading up to Christmas and Thanksgiving. They will often come adorned with an attractive bacon lattice or herby decoration to make them look extra special – and to save you the job of dressing it yourself! Per kilo turkey crowns are generally more expensive
