- description: The Queen will reflect on prominent events from the past year during her Christmas broadcast - from the service that marked the 60th anniversary of her coronation to the birth of Prince George. The Queen's traditional message to the nation has the theme of reflection and features her contemplating the role of the Commonwealth and the future of the monarchy. During the broadcast, which was recorded earlier this month in Buckingham Palace, the Queen said: ''We all need to get the balance right between action and reflection. ''With so many distractions, it is easy to forget to pause and take stock.'' The Queen also spoke about her great-grandson Prince George, and said the birth of a baby allows people to think about the future with renewed "happiness and hope". The traditional message to the nation featured behind-the-scenes footage taken at Clarence House of the royal family posing for the christening pictures under the direction of celebrity portrait photographer Jason Bell. The Christmas address is written by the Queen and usually has a strong religious framework, reflects current issues and draws on her own experiences over the past year. The speech is one of the rare occasions when she does not turn to the Government for advice but is able to voice her own views. The Queen's traditional message was produced this year by the BBC and recorded in Buckingham Palace's blue drawing room.
