Queen's Christmas Broadcast. 2017 ?

[EDDIE51]

I just want to say that this year's Queen's Christmas broadcast was , IMO, the best ever.
Calm ,eloquent , thoughtfully presented, helpful and caring.
It truly made me proud to be British.
Also I could not help but compare and contrast Her Majesty's wonderful educated measured speech to the verbal diarrhea and abuse that pours out of the mouth of Donald Trump.
Any comments? Views from any USA member especially welcome .
(I'm assuming they heard it over there?)

Bit of a joke to compare The Queen with anyone, as she is unique.
I doubt that any other head of state has even 10% of her experience and Mr Trump will not have reached the 1% stage yet.
One doesn't get to be The Queen all over the globe by being comparable......

// To play devil's advocate for a moment, France still has tourists going to see the Palace of Versailles etc and no royal family.

yeah and no furniture either - a french leddy complained about the Peddy Trianon - c'est tout empire!
Versailles was looted by mob when the monarchy sort of failed
and was then hoarded by the villagers ( of Versailles ) Pieces of exquisiste quality still come onto the market and fetch millions. If the French state buys they can be put back to where they were in 1789 as all the records are there but not ... the furniture

and from what the leddy said - nothing Napoleonic either

The intention was to compare a statement/message from The Queen with one from Donald Trump. That's why I brought Trump into it.
I found this on Wilki
Outside of the Commonwealth, C-SPAN in the United States also first airs the broadcast at around 10:00 AM EST, around the same time the broadcast is made available to the public.
So the USA gets to hear and see it around the same time we do.
I am sure there would have been more US viewers this year with Prince Harry's engagement to a US citizen featured.
