King Charles III is set to make his very first Christmas speech this year, after ascending the throne following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.
It has been a year of major change not just for the new monarch, but also for the UK and the rest of the world. For the first time in 70 years, the face Britons see on TV on Christmas day will not be that of the Queen, who has given a speech every year throughout her reign, except in 1969.
