King Charles addressed the impact of the country's growing economic woes as he invoked his late mother in his first Christmas message to the nation as monarch.
King Charles Charles said he shares with his "whole heart" his mother's faith in God and people.
Britain's King Charles invoked his late mother, Queen Elizabeth, in his first Christmas message to the nation as monarch and spoke of his faith in humanity at a time of "great anxiety and hardship".He was speaking from St George'sChapel, the final resting place of the late Queen and from where Elizabeth delivered a Christmas message in 1999.
In 2022, the nation had three prime ministers within two months and now faces an economic recession and cost-of-living crisis that has forced many to turn to food banks and charities for support.Charles III, who acceded to the throne when his mother's death ended her record 70-year reign in September, paid tribute to such charities in his broadcast, which included footage of staff at food banks, as well as hospital staff and rescue and care workers.
But he made no mention of William's brother, Harry, or his wife, Meghan, who took part in a documentary this month in which the couple portrayed the royal family as a tone-deaf institution unconcerned about their mental well-being.
