Queen Elizabeth II did not deliver her traditional Christmas speech in 1969. This was due to a documentary titled "Royal Family," which was broadcast that year, providing an inside look at the royal household. The documentary was meant to modernize the monarchy's image, and it was decided that a Christmas speech was not necessary.

From 1952, the Queen's Christmas message has been televised in some form. From 1952 (her first message) it was broadcast in addition to radio on TV with sound only. In 1957, the first full television broadcast of the message was made.
No Christmas Broadcast took place in 1969 because a repeat of the documentary Royal Family was already scheduled for the holiday period.
An example of a speech at a Christmas party is when people are recognized for their hard work all through the year.
