Queen Elizabeth has always been generous and kind. Some of her small but thoughtful gestures will truly warm your heart.
The British monarchy is very much strict for its stickler attitude when it comes to their royal tradition.
And for that matter, Queen Elizabeth is no exception at all. Her Majesty is a woman and she values her routine. For example, she only carries cash a single day of the week and eats the same simple thing for breakfast every day.
When the Queen gets in a festive mood, she is certainly willing to make one small departure from tradition.
