		</div><p>Queen Elizabeth has cancelled her traditional pre-Christmas family party next week as a precaution, as cases of Covid-19 soar in the UK.</p>
<p>A Buckingham Palace source confirmed the decision to call off the royal gathering, which comes as cases spike with a surge in the Omicron variant.</p>
<p>It is understood the decision was a precaution, with the source suggesting it could put too many people’s Christmas arrangements at risk if it went ahead.</p>
<p>Plans were reportedly fully in place at Windsor Castle for next Tuesday’s Christmas lunch, which the 95-year-old monarch hosts each year for her extended family.</p>
<p>Last year’s gathering was also scrapped because of the Covid-19 crisis.</p>
<p>Most years, the queen invites her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren to join her at Buckingham Palace before she departs for her annual Christmas stay at Sandringham.</p>
<p>The palace is undergoing major renovation works at present.</p>
<p>The pre-Christmas celebration gives the British head of state a chance to catch up with relatives who are unable to travel to Norfolk for Christmas Day.</p>
<p>This Christmas is the queen’s first since the death of her husband of 73 years, Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh.</p>
<p>The queen and Philip spent Christmas Day together at Windsor in 2020, without the rest of the family, after spending most of the year being cared for by a reduced number of staff in what was dubbed HMS Bubble.</p>
<p>She has only been carrying out light duties since October 20th when concerns for her health were heightened after royal doctors ordered her to rest and she spent a night in hospital undergoing tests.</p>
