The King’s Christmas message was the most-watched programme on Christmas Day. The annual festive broadcast was watched by an average of 8.1 million viewers on BBC One, according to the broadcaster. Charles’s pre-recorded address to the nation mirrored the late Queen’s well-established template, with a personal reflection on the year touching on current issues and with a Christian framework. In his message, he sympathised with families struggling with the cost-of-living crisis and spoke about the “great anxiety and hardship” experienced by many trying to “pay their bills”. The central theme was a celebration of “selfless dedication”, a value embodied by the Queen, and he praised the actions of individuals, charities and faith groups supporting those in need. Richard and TalkTV Royal Correspondent Rupert Bell reflect on a turbulent year in the Royal Family. #talktv #talkradio
