While most senior members of the family were featured in his speech, the Duke of York and the Duke of Sussex were noticeably absent.
Fresh Scandal Surrounds Prince Andrew
Prince Andrew is allegedly facing more trouble as his name is set to appear in an unsealed document related to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who has fought to release new information on Epstein, could potentially name 177 high-profile associates, victims, friends, recruiters, and more. The Duke of York's name could be among them, according to The Mail on Sunday.
King Charles' Plea for Peace on Earth
In his Christmas speech, King Charles made an impassioned plea for "peace on Earth" and referenced ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza. Quoting Jesus, he called for unity and reminded listeners of the importance of treating others as they would like to be treated. The King also praised the selfless volunteers who have gone above and beyond to help others during times of hardship.
Environmentally-Friendly Christmas Tree
As an environmentalist monarch, King Charles presented his speech in front of a living Christmas tree decorated with sustainable products such as dried oranges, hand-turned wood, brown glass, and pine cones. The tree will be replanted after the broadcast, aligning with the King's commitment to environmental preservation.
