The nation noticed a clear absence during the airing of King Charles' Christmas message.
The king delivered his first Christmas broadcast to the nation, and inevitably it was closely scrutinised by viewers. Those watching around the country heard King Charles primarily share his gratitude to the public for all of their support following his mother's death.
He shared his own thoughts for those who may also be dealing with the loss of a loved one but a pair of his own family members were absent from scenes accompanying the broadcast entirely.
