The Tradition of the Annual Christmas speech by the monarchy was started in 1932, by George V, who broadcasted a Christmas Message on the radio. The Tradition was continued by his son and still is to this day by the queen. The queens first ever Christmas Speech was broadcast on Christmas day, 1952. 5 years later in 1957, The Queens mesage was televised for the first time ever and still is to this day.

1952: Queen makes first Christmas speech
Millions of British and Commonwealth listeners have been listening to Queen Elizabeth's first Christmas broadcast of her reign.
In a tradition that began in 1932, the Queen made her address on BBC radio from the study at Sandringham House at 1507 GMT.
She used the same desk and chair as her father King George VI and his father King George V had done.
The annual broadcast allowed nations around the world to hear the voice of their monarch, made more human by the power of radio.
