Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands gave an annual Christmas Speech. This tradition started with her grandmother, Queen Wilhelmina.
The palace often announced a “theme” for the speech ahead of time, in the press release about the speech. If we are able to find the press release which mentions the “theme” we have listed it here.
