First look at filming of Charles’ King’s Speech as he breaks tradition – and reflects on year after cancer diagnosis
KING Charles has shared a first look at his annual Christmas speech.
The monarch, 76, recorded the speech two weeks ago at the Fitzrovia Chapel in central London.
Charles’ decision to give the speech from the former hospital is a break from tradition following his cancer diagnosis.
The post on Instagram said: “Lights. Camera. Action!
“The annual Christmas Day tradition – the Sovereign’s Christmas Broadcast – is almost here. Where will you be watching?”
The footage shows a Christmas tree being decorated along with a brief look at his speech.
The video also shows Charles delivering the speech to the nation in front of the camera.
In the address, the monarch will mention his and the Princess of Wales’s health battles in the first Christmas broadcast in 14 years to be filmed away from the royal estate.
Charles was said to be “enchanted” by the stunning chapel.
The monarch wanted to break from festive tradition at the end of a tumultuous year.
The chapel used to serve London’s medical community and it is thought Charles’s decision was a nod to his cancer battle.
It is now a space for quiet reflection, discovery and celebration, connecting diverse communities from all faiths or none.
