This week while everyone was busy with Christmas celebrations, the British royals attended the ‘Royal Carols - Together At Christmas’ concert where we saw Prince William with the Duchess of Cambridge and the Countess of Wessex. Queen Elizabeth II also made her annual Christmas broadcast in which she looked stunning in red dress with a special brooch also featured in a photo on her desk to honor the love of her life, the late Prince Philip.
Furthermore, Queen Rania Al Abdullah posted a tribute to Desmon Tutu with a photo of her and the South Africa’s Nobel Peace Prize-winner and activist and some nice words about his legacy.

Queen Rania Al Abdullah shared a photo on social media honoring the South African Archbishop, Desmond Tutu. “The world has lost a shining beacon of moral clarity and courage with the passing of Archbishop Desmond Tutu. From his homeland of South Africa, to Palestine, to Iraq, he never failed to call out injustices around the world and urge humanity to do better, and be better. He was also incredibly warm, with a gentle demeanor and kindhearted sense of humor. I count myself among those incredibly blessed to have had the opportunity to work alongside him. He will be sorely missed”
