King Charles to deviate from two decades of tradition, set to deliver his annual Christmas speech from hospital

King Charles is all set to deliver his annual and significant Christmas Day address from the Fitzrovia Chapel located in London while marking a significant departure from tradition as it will be the first time in over a decade that the speech is not recorded in a royal residence, reported In Style.

According to In Style, this decision comes amidst the ongoing treatment of King Charles for cancer and eventually reflects a year of health challenges for both him and his daughter-in-law named Kate Middleton who also underwent cancer treatment.

The Fitzrovia Chapel which was formerly a part of the Middlesex Hospital was eventually chosen for its historical significance and connection to healthcare, asserted In Style. King Charles was reportedly ‘enchanted’ by its Byzantine architecture, which actually serves as a poignant backdrop for his message.


The annual Christmas address by King Charles will actually focus on overcoming personal, national and international challenges through community support while aligning with his role as a patron of Macmillan Cancer Support, noted In Style.

This year's speech is particularly meaningful as it actually put an emphasis on resilience and solidarity during difficult times. The Christmas message will air at 3 PM GMT on Christmas Day while continuing the royal tradition of reflecting on current events and the spirit of the season.
