The Queen extols the virtues of active lifestyles in her annual Christmas Day address, touting sports and friendly competition as an important social connector and window to a “different perspective on life.”
Learning about harmony and "positive team spirit" through athletics is a central theme of the 84-year-old monarch’s speech, broadcast at 10 a.m. ET on Saturday on British radio and TV, and also available on YouTube's Royal Channel.
“In the parks, and towns and cities, and on village greens up and down the country, countless thousands of people every week give up their time to participate in sport and exercise of all sorts, or simply encourage others to do so,” she said in this year's speech, taped from Hampton Court Palace''s Royal Chapel, on the outskirts of London.
