Monarch expected to pay tribute to late mother during festive address from St George’s chapel

No details about what he will say in his message have been released, but he is expected to pay personal tribute to his mother, who is laid to rest in the George VI memorial chapel within St George’s, alongside the Duke of Edinburgh. It seems unlikely the king will reference the personal family woes that have dogged his reign so far. His mother used her Christmas broadcasts to address universal themes, her faith, and the country’s highs – and lows – of the previous year.
Family members will gather at Sandringham and attend a Christmas Day service at St Mary Magdalene church. The royal standard was seen flying at the estate on Thursday, indicating the king had already arrived. He and Camilla, the Queen Consort are expected to be joined by family members including the Prince and Princess of Wales and their three children, and the Earl and Countess of Wessex and their two children.
