The talks and disputes continue to emerge amid the Brexit negotiations. As the political upheaval remains the same in the next few weeks, royal experts are claiming that this will "endanger" Queen Elizabeth II's Christmas plans.
According to Express UK, the 93-year-old queen always travels to Sandringham every Christmas. She is reported to enjoy the festivities of the holiday in the area as it also serves as her break far away from London. However, it might not happen this year following the "turmoil in Westminster" for months now.
A royal expert also told the publication that the upcoming snap election is mainly the reason why. As it happens, the election called by Prime Minister Boris John is scheduled on Dec. 12. The results will come just the day after the election, which means that a new government will be formed soon.
As per usual, the formation of the new government entails a speech from Queen Elizabeth II for the State Opening of the Parliament. It is worth noting that she just did this last October with Prince Charles by her side. But, because of the snap election, the monarch needs to repeat all the "ceremonial gestures."
When everything goes smoothly during the elections, she could immediately obtain the date for the speech. However, when no political party "wins a majority," or a hung Parliament happens, there is a need for a coalition.
The formation of the coalition is said to take a much longer time. So, further delays can be expected and the holiday plans by Queen Elizabeth II will be totally "endangered."
Whatever the results, though, royal experts believe that the new government is "unlikely" to delay the negotiations and transactions until after the Christmas season. Besides, Prime Minister Boris Johnson pushed the snap election this year to smoothen the Brexit deal, one last time, before the new deadline in January 2020.
BBC released an informative take on Brexit. As per the publication, the EU leaders agreed to Boris Johnson's request for another Brexit delay. This means that Britain could exit before January 31, if the Parliament approves the new Brexit deals and negotiations.
With these things at hand, this will surely make Queen Elizabeth II return on a much earlier note than her usual after winter return to London. So, this is another possible change in plans of hers.
All in all, though, many are convinced that Britain is, currently, "divided" amid the political upheaval. Nevertheless, many are still expecting that Queen Elizabeth II will address these concerns during the holiday season as she now remains the only "symbol of stability" of the country, as per reports.
