WE ARE NOT AMUSED!

QUEEN Elizabeth erased her entire family from her traditiona­l holiday photo — a dead giveaway she’s totally ticked off at her troublemak­ing, scandal-triggering brood.

The Christmas 2021 photo shows the 95-year-old monarch sitting at her desk, which is bare except for an old framed photo of Elizabeth with husband Prince Philip, who passed away at age 99 on April 9.

Normally, her desk is cluttered with framed pictures of the children and grandkids she favors.

“The traditiona­l Christmas photograph is always a clue as to which family members are in favor and those who are out,” reveals a royal insider.

“Every year, the framed pictures seem to get shifted around and the family members she’s happy with are always in the front of the desk and in view.

“The latest portrait only features an early picture of her with her adored late husband. The prominent display of Philip was a tribute to him

— since he was the backbone of her reign.

“He was also an example of a man who lived and died with class — taking many scandalous secrets with him to the grave.”

As insiders note, Her Highness didn’t hide her displeasur­e with her once-favorite son Andrew and rogue royals Prince Harry and wife Meghan.

Andrew, 61, has been booted from public duties due to his years of partying with pedophile pal Jeffrey Epstein.

The Duke of York is currently accused in a Manhattan civil suit of raping Epstein’s 17-year-old sex toy Virginia Giuffre when he was 41 in 2001. He denies the charges.

Also gone from her desk since 2019 is grandson Harry and Meghan, who bolted to America and have used their royal celebrity to cash in on more than $150 million in business deals.

Royal author Christophe­r Anderson writes in Brothers and Wives: Inside the Private Lives of William, Kate, Harry and Meghan that while staging her annual portrait the queen pointed to their photo, saying: “That one. I suppose we don’t need that one.”

Harry later “felt he was being erased” from the family, says the author, adding: “When somebody cuts you out of the family album, so to speak, it’s a pretty strong message.”
