Sam Smith and Rina Sawayama make an appearance in the queer Qweens' Speech, an alternative LGBTQIA+ speech to the Queens' annual Christmas speech.
The new speech - which is nearly three-minutes long - sees a mixture of LGBTQIA+ icons discussing their own narrative, and the importance of acceptance and unity throughout the country.
Alongside appearances from Rina Sawayama and Sam Smith, the Qweens' Speech also stars Gareth Pugh, Munroe Bergdorf, Tom Rasmussen, Kai-Isaiah Jamal, Lady Phyll, and Kate Moross.
Last month, Rina Sawayama dropped her comeback single - and debut on Dirty Hit - "STFU!".
Sam Smith's last single was November's "I Feel Love".
