Pics of Louise and Edward too. No one else was seen that I'm aware of.

The Queen, The Countess of Wessex and Lady Louise were at church today. There’s pics on Twitter
It drives MANY of us bonkers that the jist of HMQ's speech is now publicised the day before it is broadcast..Time was when nearly every household tuned in at 3pm on Christmas Day with NO idea what would be said..
Most still watch or listen, but now many will already know the content..
It's kind of like knowing what the package so beautifully wrapped underneath the tree contains days before you can open it. To be honest, I'd much rather hear it first from the Queen, herself, than to know what she's going to say ahead of time.
Thanks Dman. Now I just have to remember to watch it tomorrow morning (my time).
Its totally amazing the coverage that the Queen's Christmas message is given and most likely is able to be viewed all over our globe. Makes me realize just how much Queen Elizabeth II is really the "Queen of the World".
I don't think there's any other king, queen or head of state that garners as much respect and admiration as HM does. She truly is iconic. ?

She’s pretty good.
Madame Verseau said:When the queen gives her Christmas speech and she has pictures on the table does she try to send a message?...
"'Meghan Markle' [the Duchess of Sussex] wins Queen's heart... as she takes centre stage in the Queen’s collection of pictures as the monarch records her Christmas Day message."

The Queen is nothing if not supportive, understanding and strategic on behalf of her family's p.r. and public face. QEII is venerable, remarkable and very wise.
ETA: I see just now that someone else has posted a similar article.
Still not sure how a picture of the Wales family is about Meghan. Anyways, Merry Xmas!
Osipi said:In the book, The Queen, by Robert Hardman, Prince Andrew was quoted on questions asked of him about the family's dynamics. I found this part to be not only interesting but also informative. Its a great book and I recommend it.
"The constant issue is that there are more people speculating and trying to find out about our normality and reality than is sometimes healthy. The family life that we have had is as much of a family life as your family life. Its had its ups, its had its downs. Its had its good times, its bad times. That's the nature of the beast. And we make the most of family time that we can."
Didn't you notice? For at least a year, everything has been about Meghan! And Merry Christmas to you too!Still not sure how a picture of the Wales family is about Meghan. Anyways, Merry Xmas!
Please also take a look at the photos placed in the background which include two photos taken on the day of the Sussex wedding, in addition to the photo taken on the day of Princess Eugenie's wedding. The foreground photos of a younger Prince Charles accompanied by the lovely Wales family photo celebrating Prince Charles' 70th birthday definitely represent British monarchy continuity and family unity, i.e. Meghan is a fully accepted member of the British royal family, so the British press need to heed and to chill with their negative stories of 'feuds' and speculation about the Duchess of Sussex.
