King Charles’ Christmas message set to break this major royal tradition

King Charles addressed the UK and Commonwealth from the Buckingham Palace on Christmas. The monarch said in his such second address after his mother Queen Elizabeth passed away in September last year, “Over this past year my heart has been warmed by countless examples of the imaginative ways in which people are caring for one another - going the extra mile to help those around them simply because they know it is the right thing to do: at work and at home; within and across communities."

Talking about Queen Camilla, King Charles said, “My wife and I were delighted when hundreds of representatives of that selfless army of people - volunteers who serve their communities in so many ways and with such distinction - were able to join us in Westminster Abbey for the coronation earlier this year. They are an essential backbone of our society.”
