King’s Speech 2023 LIVE — Charles hails key workers as Kate & Prince William join Monarch at Sandringham for Boxing Day

KING Charles delivered his second Christmas address as monarch to the nation yesterday and hailed essential workers.

The King took to our screens to reflect on 2023 and look forward to the upcoming year.

Speaking next to a stunning Christmas tree, he said: “They are an essential backbone of our society.

“Their presence meant so much to us both and emphasised the meaning of Coronation itself: above all, a call to us all to serve one another; to love and care for all.

He added: “Service also lies at the heart of the Christmas story – the birth of Jesus who came to serve the whole world, showing us by his own example how to love our neighbour as ourselves.”

This came as the Royal Family, including Prince William, Kate Middleton and their three children, celebrated the holiday at Sandringham.
