Deepfake Queen’s 2020 Christmas Message

Video Transcript:

For nearly 70 years, I have kept the tradition of speaking to you at Christmas. But on the BBC, I haven't always been able to speak plainly and from the heart. So I'm grateful to Channel 4 for giving me the opportunity to say whatever I like without anyone putting words in my mouth. If there is a theme to my message today, it is trust, trust in what is genuine and what is not. 2020 has been a challenging year for us all. A year when most of you, thanks to toilet row shortages, have finally understood how it feels to have a predicament on the throne. One thing that has sustained many of us is our families, which is why I was so saddened by the departure of Harry and Meghan. There are few things more hurtful than someone telling you they prefer the company of Canadians. But at least I still have my beloved Andrew close by. It seems unlikely he'll be heading to North America anytime soon. 2020 has also been a year of heroes such as our brave NHS workers, many of whom were forced to take incredible risks, like treating Boris Johnson, knowing at any time as a result they too could become pregnant. As is so often the case, technology held tackle the challenges we faced this year. Like many of you, when I wasn't settling down with my husband to Netflix and Phil as I like to call it, I was perfecting my moves for TikTok. In fact, there's something I'm rather excited to share with you all. I'm under strict orders from Philip not to, but as he's nodded off in front of home alone too, what do you mind, awfully? You'll have to move that camera back. Everyone ready? ÜMPI CREDITS Ooh, I just want a party all night long Ooh, I do it all for fun Don't need your love, I'm a sinner If my lover grind up, it's more I'm a sinner Don't need your love Oh, if that doesn't get me unstrictly I don't know what will Thank you So much of our world today comes to us through these screens Which brings me back to that question of trust Of whether what we see and hear is always as it seems On behalf of myself, your queen, and all at Channel 4 I trust you will have the very merriest of merry christmas' And... Is that okay? Can I have a cup of tea now?
