Why will the Queen’s 2020 Christmas Day speech be available to listen to via Alexa?
As reported by Insider.com, Eric King, director of Amazon Alexa Euripe has said in a statement that: “After a challenging year, millions of people from across the Commonwealth will be eagerly awaiting Her Majesty the Queen’s message on Christmas Day.
He added that: "By creating this world-first innovation, just as we did in 2012 with the release of the Queen's Christmas speech on Kindle, we hope that even more people will be able to enjoy the uplifting words of Her Majesty."
The Queen gave her first televised Christmas Day speech back in 1957, after giving her first end-of-year speech in 1952. Since then settling down to hear to the monarch’s thoughts on the year has become a Christmas staple for many families.
We look forward to hearing the Queen’s words of comfort and reflection on 2020 on Christmas Day.
