Break from royal tradition: King Charles to deliver Christmas speech from former hospital chapel
Tuesday, 24 December 2024 () King Charles III will deliver his Christmas speech from the Fitzrovia Chapel, a former hospital chapel in London, breaking tradition due to his ongoing cancer treatment. The message will be pre-recorded and broadcast on Sky News. The speech, addressing various challenges, is set in a historically significant location linked to his grandfather, King George VI.
King Charles “always moaned” about shooting his Christmas card picture in the summer but has grown to realise just how long it takes to prepare for the festive season.
