King Charles will deliver his traditional Christmas Day message from a former hospital chapel, Buckingham Palace said on Monday, in a break from tradition and a nod to the British monarch's ongoing treatment for cancer, APA reports citing Reuters.
For his annual pre-recorded Christmas Day broadcast to be aired on Wednesday, Charles has selected the Fitzrovia Chapel, an ornate former church on the site of a former hospital in central London.
"It is now a space for quiet reflection, discovery and celebration, connecting diverse communities from all faiths or none," Buckingham Palace said on X, adding that the king's grandfather George VI had laid the building's foundation stone in 1928.
