The King has used his first Christmas broadcast to pay tribute to "selfless dedication" of heroic NHS workers and the armed forces, while sympathising with families struggling with the cost-of-living crisis.
The monarch spoke about the "great anxiety and hardship" experienced by many trying to "pay their bills and keep their families fed and warm" during his televised message which aired around the world at 3pm on Sunday.
Charles dedicated a large part to the life and legacy of his mother, the late Queen, saying how she embodied the values of "selfless dedication", which is reflected across the nation in the actions of so many helping to build and strengthen our communities.
