time for queen elizabeth's message to the commonwealth. 2019 has been quite the year across the pond. both for the royals and the country itself and sources say the queen's speech will reflect on the turbulent year. i want to go to nbc's molly hunter live from london. good to see you. happy holidays and a happy holiday for prince philip out of the hospital. is he expect ed to make any public appearances? >> good news for a royal family who could use some. he walked out by himself. we saw him in a helicopter arriving. he's hopefully going to make an appearance with the queen when the family walks to the church. with the cambridges, not harry and meghan, but hopefully, prince philip will be feeling okay at 98 to walk to church. the queen at 93 of course hopefully we'll see tomorrow as well and we'll see her christmas message which has been taped.
