In his second Christmas message as monarch, King Charles III spoke of the importance of caring for the planet and the need for peace around the world.
While he was transmitting his message, behind the monarch you can see a replantable Christmas tree decorated with sustainable ornaments made of wood, glass, paper, pine cones and dried oranges. This repotable tree is uprooted and stored in a large pot to be replanted after Christmas and reused the following year.
The Christmas message, a royal tradition dating back more than 90 years, was recorded in the Central Room of Buckingham Palace, which overlooks the famous balcony overlooking the Queen Victoria monument and the esplanade.
The emotional Christmas message from Carlos III
The monarch began his speech by remembering that these dates are an opportunity for families to come together, to remember those who are no longer here and also to remember those who are dedicated to helping others.
“Over the past year my heart has been touched by the countless examples of imaginative ways people cared for others, going above and beyond to help those around them simply because they know it is the right thing to do – both at home and at work. and in their communities.”
In the British monarchy’s annual festive address, Charles III said he prays for peace at a time when conflict rages in the Middle East and elsewhere around the world. The monarch, who has been a defender of the environment for many years, highlighted the importance of taking care of the earth for the good of our children’s children.
“Let us do everything in our power to protect our neighbors. On this Christmas Day, my heart and gratitude go out to all those who serve others and those who care for our common home, as well as those who seek good for others. I wish you a Merry Christmas, peace on Earth and good wishes to all, today and always.”
“All my life I have been delighted that attention has grown on how we need to protect the planet and our natural world as the home we all share. I find it a great inspiration that many people recognize this, as the Christmas story already does, which tells us that the angels brought the message first to the shepherds, because these were the people who lived among other creatures of the Lord.
Finally, Charles III spoke about the event of his coronation and that of his wife Camilla. “My wife and I are delighted that hundreds of representatives of these selfless people were able to join us at Westminster Abbey for the coronation this year. “They are an essential part of our society.”
