Charles III message, “Christmas, celebrating the power of light overcoming darkness”

It was King Charles III first Christmas message, watched by millions in the UK and Commonwealth nations. In the midst of a nation in recession, the increasing cost of living which has triggered a rash of strikes in the public sector, the King paid tribute to his mother Queen Elizabeth II's wisdom and compassion, and delivered words of hope and comfort to all those suffering from hardship and struggling to keep their families fed and warm.
