The Queen’s Lord-Lieutenants have been told to hold their tongues on whether Britain should remain in the EU ahead of the June referendum. SEBASTIAN SHAKESPEARE reveals.

In a landmark programme celebrating the Queen’s 90th birthday, The Duke of Cambridge, describes how members of the public react to meeting Her Majesty – adding he’s seen some ‘comical moments’.

As she enters her tenth decade, the Queen finds both the funny and sober side of her ‘job’ as she entertains her family and staff with impressions as while studiously examining her red boxes.

Sir Peter Maxwell Davies (pictured), one of the world’s greatest living composers, died on Monday of leukemia at his home in Scotland’s Orkney islands, his management company Intermusica said.

Westminster’s pro-EU politicians leapt on remarks by the Cabinet Minister (pictured) that he was not the source of ‘all’ the leaked information that the Queen holds Eurosceptic views.

The Prime Minister refused to comment on the claims the Queen backs a British exit from the EU. The claim is based upon an account of a conversation she is alleged to have had with Nick Clegg in 2011.

The Duchess of Cambridge, 33, has given her first solo TV interview for a documentary on the Queen’s life and reign set to air in the Spring to mark her 90th birthday, which falls on April 21.

The excitement of a second child for the Duchess of Cambridge has helped push Sophie, also a mother of two, even more to the margins of public life and inevitable scrutiny – which she loves.

The Queen recorded her Christmas message seated at a desk in Buckingham Palace’s 18th Century Room, alongside picture frames of her family and with a large Christmas tree in the background.

The Queen will use her Christmas speech this year to reflect on her personal faith, as well as her belief in the continuing role of Christianity in British life.
