King Charles III's Christmas Message on the Coronation and Protection of the Planet

In his Christmas message on Monday, King Charles III brought up the theme of the coronation, emphasizing the protection of the planet and the wars that are taking place. In a pre-recorded video, standing next to a naturally decorated Christmas tree at Buckingham Palace, the monarch spoke of Jesus' message of life in service to people. It was the monarch's second Christmas speech since he ascended the throne following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, in September 2022, but his first since his coronation in May.

For most of his life, King Charles has championed environmental concerns such as protecting wildlife and fighting climate change. He gave a speech at the COP28 climate summit held by the United Nations in Dubai earlier this month. Natural Christmas tree decorations are made of wood, dried oranges, pine cones and paper. According to Qasr, this tree will be planted later.

Her other son, Prince Harry, who left the royal family in 2020 with his wife, Meghan, was not featured in the video. Harry, who attended the coronation alone and sat in the third row, caused tension between himself and the royal family with his best-selling memoir, Spare, published earlier in the year, in which he accused his brother of beating him. .

As Charles spoke, a video was played showing his highlights of the past year, including planting a tree during a trip to Kenya and his first state visit as monarch with Queen Camilla to a Commonwealth country. Footage was also shown of his coronation in which he declared: "I have come not to be served, but to serve."
