King Charles III is deviating from royal Christmas tradition by delivering his annual message from the Fitzrovia Chapel in London, a location seemingly chosen for its significance during his recent health challenges. This marks the first time in 14 years that the speech wasn't filmed on a royal estate. The Christmas tree featured in the broadcast was donated to support cancer patients.
The royal family’s official Instagram account shared a photo from Charles’ prerecorded holiday broadcast on Monday, December 23, revealing that this year’s message was filmed in the Fitzrovia Chapel in London. The location appears to have a special connection to the ongoing health crisis Charles, 76, has been experiencing throughout the past year.
This year’s Christmas broadcast was the first time in 14 years that the speech was not filmed on a royal estate. Monday’s Instagram caption also revealed that the Christmas tree featured in the prerecorded package was donated to Croydon BME Forum and Macmillan Cancer Support’s ‘Can You C Me?’ project and will be placed in the Royal Trinity Hospice in London.
The type of cancer has never been publicly specified. However, Charles has returned to his public-facing duties.
