[A(An)|The|—] Queen's message to [a(an)|the|—] Commonwealth on December 25 has become as traditional of [a(an)|the|—] British Christmas as [a(an)|the|—] roast turkey and [a(an)|the|—] Christmas pudding. Millions of people across [a(an)|the|—] United Kingdom turn on [a(an)|the|—] television to watch the Queen sum up the year and offer [a(an)|the|—] season's greetings to her subjects. Millions more around the world listen to [a(an)|the|—] speech on their radios and, nowadays, on [a(an)|the|—] Internet. The tradition was begun by [a(an)|the|—] King George V in 1932. In the early days, [a(an)|the|—] message went out live but from 1960 onwards it was recorded [a(an)|the|—] few days in advance. In the past, most of the speeches have been regarded as uncontroversial, even [a(an)|the|—] little dull. In 1932, when King George V made the first royal Christmas broadcast to what was then [a(an)|the|—] British Empire, it was transmitted live from his small study at Sandringham, in Norfolk, where [a(an)|the|—] royal family always spend their Christmas holidays. The speech was scripted by [a(an)|the|—] famous author, Rudyard Kipling, and began with [a(an)|the|—] words: "I speak now from my home and from my heart to you all." The contents of the speech are always top secret until it is [a(an)|the|—] first transmitted. The speech is traditionally filmed in [a(an)|the|—] great secrecy at Sandringham in [a(an)|the|—] week before Christmas. But in recent years it has also been filmed at [a(an)|the|—] Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace. The footage is sent in advance around the world to 17 Commonwealth countries, to be broadcast at [a(an)|the|—] convenient local time.
