THE Queen has cancelled her traditional Christmas at Sandringham and will stay in Windsor, as the Omicron variant rages.

Royal sources said Her Majesty made the “personal choice” to give Sandringham a miss.
One added: “The Queen always leads from the front on such matters and felt with the coronavirus situation as it is in the UK that a sensible approach would be to stay at Windsor.
