The Christmas message used to be a live broadcast. But since , it has been recorded in advance so that tapes could be sent around the world to the other Commonwealth countries.

The Queen remains one of the most famous people in the world. During her record-breaking reign, there have been 13 British prime ministers. In an average year, she receives about 60, pieces of correspondence. Can you imagine receiving that much post?! According to the Royal Family's official website: "The Queen is shown almost all of her correspondence on a daily basis by one of her private secretaries, and she takes a keen interest in the letters she receives.
The Queen spends a lot of time at her desk reading through the huge amount of paperwork that the monarch has to deal with. During the week, she lives at Buckingham Palace in London with her husband, which is also her office. She goes to Windsor Castle in Berkshire most weekends, as it is said that this is where she calls home. Royal expert Christopher Warwick explains: "It was a place that was very much home to the Queen and to her sister for a very long time [during the war] and that cemented the emotions and attachment that she has to a place she loves dearly.

The Queen gave a speech about her husband, saying: "He has, quite simply, been my strength and stay all these years. While the Duke of Edinburgh has now officially stepped back from his royal duties, the Queen still makes public appearances as the nation's sovereign, although she does not have as many engagements as she used to and she has stopped travelling very long distances.
Other members of the royal family help with these public engagements. Next week, the Queen will carry out her first royal engagement with her grandson Prince Harry's new wife and the latest addition to the royal family, Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex. The Queen is about 5ft 4ins tall. The place where Elizabeth was born in London is actually now a Chinese restaurant!

Her first Corgi was called Susan and she was given to her as a present on her 18th birthday back in As for other animals, the Queen officially owns all the whales and dolphins in the waters around the UK. She does not, however, own all of the nation's swans, which a lot of people believe.
Queen Elizabeth only owns a particular type of swan, called a mute swan, on certain parts of the River Thames. The Queen is a big fan of Scottish country dancing.
Each year when she goes to Balmoral, she holds special balls for neighbours, estate and castle staff, and members of the local community. There are streets named after Elizabeth, but just named Victoria. It's not just here in the UK that the Queen's portrait appears on money. She holds a world record for appearing on currency in at least 35 different countries. That's more than any other living monarch! Even some countries where she isn't Queen any more have kept her face on their cash.
The Queen is also known for her love of innovation and technology. She sent her first email way back in from a computer at a British Army base - long before most people had even got near a computer!
