Britain’s King Charles paid a heartfelt tribute to his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth, in his first Christmas broadcast as monarch
on Sunday. Speaking in a pre-recorded address from St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle, where the Queen was laid to rest alongside her husband Prince Philip, the new King expressed gratitude to members of the public who had shown love and sympathy in the wake of her death in September.
It is a belief in the extraordinary ability of each person to touch, with goodness and compassion, the lives of others, and to shine a light in the world around them,” he said. “This is the essence of our community and the very foundation of our society.” Sunday’s message marks Britain’s first annual Christmas Day broadcast not delivered by the Queen since her first message in 1957. In her final Christmas speech last year, she spoke of “passing the baton” to the next generation.
