“But the Gospel of John contains a verse of great hope often read at Christmas carol services: ‘The light shines in the darkness”.
Prince William has admitted he would be in for a challenging Christmas thanks to his son Prince George.
The monarch, who wore a white and silver tweed day dress by Angela Kelly, went on to mention the latest addition to her family: “One of the joys of living a long life is watching one’s children, then grandchildren, then great grandchildren, help decorate the Christmas tree”. “And this year my family has a new member to join in the fun”.
Surrounded by photos of familiar loved ones in Buckingham Palace with the backdrop of Christmas trees, cards and decorations, her words appear to have struck a chord with sci-fi fans.
The highly personal Christmas message is a focal point of the royal family’s holidays.
The queen writes the brief speech herself.

Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge received an extra-special gift this year: ringing in their first Christmas as a family of four.
Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II used her Christmas address on Friday to highlight the triumph of good over evil after a string of attacks in 2015, and to draw attention to the plight of refugees.
Almost a thousand well-wishers waited for hours in the rain outside St Mary Magdalene to see Queen Elizabeth and other senior royals.
