In his first Christmas address to the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth as Monarch, King Charles III recalled the deep faith in Jesus Christ held by his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, and the virtue of service to our fellow man in order to fulfil the promise of the “everlasting light”.
In a speech delivered from the chapel of St. George at Windsor Castle nearby where the late Queen is laid to rest, King Charles, 74, paid tribute to his mother, who reigned for 70 years and 214 days, the longest of any British Monarch. “Christmas is a particularly poignant time for all of us who have lost loved ones. We feel their absence at every familiar turn of the season, and remember them in each cherished tradition,” the King said.
“In the much-loved carol ‘O Little Town of Bethlehem,’ we sing of how, ‘in thy dark streets shineth the everlasting light.’ My mother’s belief in the power of that light was an essential part of her faith in God, but also have faith in people, and it is one which I share with my whole heart. It is a belief in the extraordinary ability of each person to touch with goodness and compassion the lives of others and to shine a light in the world around them.
The speech not only marked the King’s first since ascending to the British throne in September, but also the first instance of a King of the United Kingdom delivering a Christmas message on television. His late mother, Queen Elizabeth II was the first British Monarch to deliver a televised Christmas broadcast in 1957, some 25 years after her father, George V became the first King to have his Christmas message sent out over the radio.
