Out of perhaps an old fashioned (to some) level of respect for Queen and Country I've always watched/listened to the Queen's Xmas speech, and her opening of Parliament one too.

I thought this year's speech lacked energy and empathy. It certainly didn't 'connect' with me, or my feelings for our nation.

I know its only a snapshot view of her but my gut feeling was 'sell by date' expired. And, perhaps cruelly, if thats the best she can offer then its certainly not value for money.
