Watching the King’s Christmas Day broadcast is a traditional part of many people’s festive celebrations and even some of the wider Royal Family settle in front of the TV at Sandringham House to hear what he has to say. Although Queen Elizabeth used to deliver some of her messages live, she switched to pre-recording them from 1959 and King Charles does this too.
He will have written and filmed his 2025 speech ready and he always reflects upon the year, remarking upon issues that concern everyone and what Christmas truly means. The King’s speech is pre-recorded because it makes it easier to distribute to broadcasters in advance, so fans across the world can tune in on Christmas Day.
