This year, Queen Elizabeth II's traditional Christmas address is getting more high-tech. In addition to its broadcast on television and radio, the Queen of England will also send her greetings via Amazon's virtual assistant, Alexa. A unique format that will be available beyond the British borders.

"Alexa, play the Queen's Christmas Day message". Using this phrase will allow owners of Amazon Echo connected speakers with Amazon Alexa technology to hear the Queen's wishes this year, The Guardian reported. A first in the history of Queen Elizabeth II's traditional speech, which will even be available outside the United Kingdom.
