Three monarchs have broadcast the Royal Christmas Message
George V 1932, 1933, 1934, 1935
George VI 1937, 1939 to 1951
Elizabeth II 1952 onwards
The tradition started in 1932. The idea was first proposed by the 'founding father' of BBC or the British Broadcasting Corporation, John Reith.
The message is a broadcast made on Christmas by the sovereign of the Commonwealth realms to the Commonwealth of Nations. The broadcast reflects the current issues and concerns. It acts as a chronicle of global, national and personal events.
