"One" refers to Her Majesty of course. One always stays at Sandringham at that time of year. One expects all one's subjects to tune in for one's speech to the Commonwealth in the afternoon.

Thank you your Majesty for the honour of your reply. It's a bit difficult solving puzzles standing up listening to your broadcast, but we do out best.
With humblest best wishes
