King Charles will deliver his Christmas Day message from the Fitzrovia Chapel in London, marking a significant departure from tradition due to his ongoing cancer treatment.

The chapel was selected for its health connections, community presence, and suitability as a spiritual space, emphasizing the King's focus on inclusivity.

Fitzrovia Chapel, known for its stunning Byzantine-inspired architecture and Gothic revival elements, features a gold leaf ceiling adorned with over 500 stars.

In his address, King Charles aims to reflect on overcoming various challenges, emphasizing the importance of community support in personal, national, and international contexts.

The King's Christmas speech will be broadcast at 3 p.m. GMT on Christmas Day across multiple platforms, including BBC One and SKY News.

A sustainably decorated Christmas tree featured in the broadcast will be donated to the Croydon BME Forum and Macmillan Cancer Support, highlighting the King's commitment to community initiatives.

This year's address is particularly notable as it is the first in 14 years not filmed at a royal residence, reflecting a more community-focused approach.

The decision to film outside the royal estate underscores King Charles's desire to strengthen community connections and reach out to people of all faiths.

The speech will also recognize communities that came together after recent riots in Southport, England, showcasing the King's awareness of current social issues.

Despite health challenges, King Charles has shown good spirits, recently joking about his condition during a public event.

Meanwhile, the Prince and Princess of Wales are set to celebrate Christmas at Sandringham with their children, participating in traditional royal activities.

Prince Andrew's absence from the Christmas gathering further distances him from public life amid ongoing controversies surrounding his behavior.
