First speech
This was the first time that King Charles, who came to power in the fall, gave his Christmas speech. In a speech that lasted eight minutes, the king brought up the late Queen Elizabeth and the crises currently plaguing the nation.
– My mother’s faith in the power of that light was an integral part of her faith in God, but also her faith in people, and I share this with all my heart. It is a belief in the extraordinary ability of every person to touch the lives of others with kindness and compassion and to shine light on the world around them, Charles said in his speech.
