Royal Christmas walkabout ‘canceled’: report

The queen is mulling canceling the traditional royal family Christmas Day walkabout for fear it could become a COVID super-spreader event, the Mirror reports. On the 25^th, the royals usually choreograph a walk to and from Sandringham estate and the church. The plan is for them to still do that—though with no well-wishing public in attendance.
