Continuing the royal tradition with his second Christmas speech, King Charles III delivered an emotional message, acknowledging the "time of real hardship for many" during his pre-recorded address.
In a touching moment, the 75-year-old monarch spoke about the values of faith, fellowship, and compassion on Christmas Day. With gratitude, he extended his thanks to the "selfless army" of volunteers, whom he described as the "backbone" of British society.
The points from King Charles's heartfelt speech were also shared on the royal family's social media accounts, accompanied by a clip of the monarch's message. The caption read, "His Majesty has spoken of compassion for others."
Appearing visibly moved, King Charles paid tribute to those who tirelessly work to bring peace and joy to others: "Throughout the year, my family has witnessed how people of all ages are making a difference to their communities. This is all the more important at a time of real hardship for many when we need to build on existing ways to support others less fortunate than ourselves."
