The message, which will be broadcast on Christmas Day, was shot in the chapel where the Queen is interred at Windsor Castle.
During the recording of his first-ever Christmas greeting, which is intended to pay tribute to the Queen, a photo of the King was revealed.
The message, which was recorded on 13 December and will be shown on Christmas Day, was filmed in the Queen’s final resting place, St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle.
The King is depicted standing in front of a big Christmas tree, which is decked with pine cones and biodegradable ornaments made of paper and glass.
It is a departure from the customary setting of the Queen’s recorded remarks, where she would be seated and surrounded by photographs of her family.
This year, there are no photographs of the King, but there are floral arrangements in the background made with English holly, ivy, and red skimmia.
Buckingham Palace stated that the choir of St. George’s Chapel will play this year’s Christmas song and the National Anthem.
The Christmas broadcast of the monarch is a longstanding tradition that is aired throughout the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth.
It is a tremendous achievement for the King.
First Christmas without the Queen for the royals.
He is presently staying at Sandringham, his estate in Norfolk, where he will celebrate Christmas with members of the Royal Family.
Since 2019, this is the first time the family has convened here, and it is also their first Christmas without the Queen.
On Christmas morning, family members will accompany the King and Queen Consort to church, per custom.
Fans are likely to arrive early to observe the royals’ arrival.
It is unknown who will attend, however, it is believed that Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah, Duchess of York, will occupy the estate.
Following the death of the Queen, the Royal Family has seen a tremendous transition in recent months.
It has been a difficult period for the King, who has had to deal with the aftermath of Harry and Meghan’s Netflix documentary and accusations of racism inside inner royal circles.
As he prepares for his coronation in the Spring, he will hope his Christmas broadcast sends a positive message.
The Queen’s final Christmas message
If he chose to dwell on his mother’s passing, it would be a gloomy reflection on the Queen’s final Christmas Day address.
In a heartbreaking Christmas Day address in 2021, the late Queen reflected on a year of personal sadness, stating there was “one familiar chuckle missing” as she mourned the death of her husband amid the ongoing impact of the coronavirus epidemic.
While seated behind a desk adorned with a single portrait of the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh taken in 2007 to commemorate their 60th wedding anniversary, the monarch stated, “Christmas may be difficult for those who have lost loved ones.
I especially understand why this year.
Following the filming of the King’s holiday address, St George’s Chapel in the Dean’s Cloister repurposed the Christmas tree for tourists to enjoy.
