Queen Elizabeth II warned of religious “tribalism” in a Christmas message on Tuesday delivered against a backdrop of Britain bickering over its impending exit from the EU. But the queen came close to breaking that mold during a five-minute appearance recorded earlier this month and played simultaneously on Britain’s main TV stations. “Even the power of faith, which frequently inspires great generosity and self-sacrifice, can fall victim to tribalism,” the queen said. And the queen herself indicated that she was enjoying the recent spate of royal weddings and the babies — including Meghan and Harry’s first in the spring — that they produce. “Closer to home, it’s been a busy year for my family, with two weddings and two babies, and another child expected soon,” the queen said.
