UK’s Queen Elizabeth II terms 2019 as ‘quite bumpy’

London: UK’s Queen Elizabeth II, in her traditional Christmas Day message broadcast, described 2019 as “quite bumpy”, but stressed small steps can make a world of difference.

“Small steps taken in faith and in hope can overcome long-held differences and deep-seated divisions to bring harmony and understanding,” said the Queen on Wednesday, adding, “The path, of course, is not always smooth, and may at times this year have felt quite bumpy, but small steps can make a world of difference.” Royal commentators said her comments were believed to be her first public reference to the turmoil faced by the Royal family this year, as well as the divisions in the country caused by Brexit, Xinhua reported.
