Queen Elizabeth II is taking heat for her annual Christmas message she delivered Tuesday from a lavish room at Buckingham Palace decorated with an ornate Christmas tree, large fireplace and a golden piano.
“Even the power of faith which frequently inspires great generosity and self-sacrifice can fall victim to tribalism,” the Queen said in her message. “But through the many changes I have seen over the years: faith, family, and friendship have been not only a constant for me, but a source of personal comfort and reassurance.”
“Even with the most deeply held differences, treating the other person with respect and as a fellow human being is always a good first step towards greater understanding,” she continued.
But some who listened to the Queen’s words did not find them appealing and especially resented the golden piano of Saddam Hussein in the background.
“Privileged wealthy hereditary monarch bunged £76m a year, sitting in front of a golden piano in the palace she’s billing taxpayers £369m to tart up, kills satire by lecturing the nation to pull together,” wrote Daily Mirror associate editor Kevin Maguire on Twitter Wednesday.
