What did King Charles say for his Christmas speech? Details explored as the King hailed ‘spontaneous bravery’ in his address

King Charles delivered a first-of-its-kind Christmas speech from the Lady Chapel at Westminster Abbey. In the address made after the royal family made their annual processional to St. Mary Magdalene Church, the 77-year-old monarch advocated for compassion and reconciliation while emphasizing the importance of togetherness in the community.

"As I meet people of different faiths, I find it enormously encouraging to hear how much we have in common. With the great diversity of our communities, we can find the strength to ensure that right triumphs over wrong."

The King urged listeners to never lose sight of the values of courage and sacrifice, adding:

"These are the values which have shaped our country. As we hear of division, both at home and abroad, they are the values of which we must never lose sight,"
