The 95-year-old queen was due to welcome 50 relatives to a celebration at Windsor Castle next week. The day after the party, she was to celebrate in Norfolk, where she would spend Christmas itself.
However, Elizabeth was forced by circumstances to cancel the gathering, as the Christmas meeting would be too much of a risk for her.
For the second year in a row, Elizabeth canceled an event that usually takes place at Buckingham Palace in London.

In the meantime, it became clear that the family will most likely gather in a larger chamber of the liturgy on Christmas Day. At the very least, Kate and William will be present, along with Charles and Camilla. Details are not known, nor whether and which family members will attend the ceremony. It has become a tradition for Christmas to go to church as one of the attractions of the season. And it was a small opportunity for Megan and Kate to show off new outfits, to show that they are not quarrelsome and fully understand each other. Although Harry’s absence has been evident for three years now, no one in the family definitely likes it, the Daily Mail reports.
