Royal superfan watches King's Christmas speech every day

Andy Park, 59, from Melksham, styles himself as Mr Christmas and pretends every day is December 25 - after listening to the Queen's Christmas speeches daily for the past three decades.

The electrician sits down at 3pm to hear what His Majesty has to say and claims to have celebrated Christmas Day every day since 14 July 1993.

He keeps his Christmas decorations up year-round and plans to record the King’s upcoming Coronation on his DVD player - so he can watch it back.

Andy still watches the Queen's Christmas speeches too and picks a different one each day and says the late monarch's one from 1997 is his favourite.

He says King Charles' first speech was "very low" compared to his late mother's but believes it was because of the "problems the family faced with Prince Harry and Prince Andrew".

Andy, who also says he is a DJ, entertainer and media personality, last hit the headlines in December 2018 when he was fined £220 with £165 costs after admitting stealing a woman’s £500 mobile phone as he DJ'd at a 30th birthday bash in Bristol.

He said: "I've watched it every day since Christmas.

"I juggle them up so one day I might listen to 1997 and the next day I might listen to 2004.

"I used to find something new in them each time but not so much now as I've seen them so many times.

"I still eat a Christmas dinner every single day whilst watching.

"I haven't learnt the latest word-for-word but the Queen used to say, 'God bless you and a very Merry Christmas’.

"Charles didn't say that but he joked about little things as though nothing really mattered but it does matter.

"I think next year he'll be better when there's a proper Queen Camilla instead of just a consort.

"It was his first time doing it and he kept it very low and didn't want to say too much because of the problems with Harry and Andrew."

Andy hopes to attend a street party on Saturday to celebrate the Coronation but admits he's a bit "disappointed" not to have had an invite to attend.

He said: "It's the first time Charles has been on the throne. It's important to me and important to everyone else. We've got to get used to seeing him on the throne.

"Bit disappointed that I'm not invited to the celebrations in London but you can't have everything.

"But I won't miss it and I'll have the DVD player working to record the whole thing."

Andy claims to have spent over £1 million on Christmas decorations and pictures since his Royal obsession began in 1993, funded by his work as an electrician and savings.

He's also hosted Christmas parties attended by the likes of Dave Hill from Slade, Gloria Hunniford, Joey Essex and TV presenters Eamon Holmes & Ruth Langsford.

Andy said: "I've always liked the royals and Christmas.

"Everyone watches the King's speech and because I have Christmas every day, I watch the speeches every day."

Andy said he plans to continue watching the King's speech daily - whatever happens.

He said: "I've always watched it and always will, it's become a tradition for me.

"My favourite Queen's Speech was the Princess Diana one. We all loved her and when she went it shocked the world.

"I was lucky enough to meet her, so it'll always be my favourite."
