King Charles hosted the first traditional Christmas after his coronation on Sunday.
The first traditional Christmas after his coronation was celebrated by British monarch King Charles, who praised those who volunteered their time to help others. He reflected on Queen Elizabeth II's belief in the goodness of humanity. Additionally, he praised the "heartfelt solidarity" of people in the recession-stricken UK while they deal with the deepening cost-of-living crisis.
In a broadcast on Christmas, Charles described it as a poignant time for those who have lost loved ones.
Christmas is a particularly poignant time for all of us who have lost loved ones. We feel his absence at every familiar turn of the season and remember him in every cherished tradition," Charles said.

"My mother's belief in the power of that light was an essential part of her faith in God, but so was her faith in people. And it is one that I share with all my heart. It is a belief in the extraordinary potential of each person. As King Charles said, touch the lives of others with kindness and compassion and shine a light on the world around you.
The multi-faceted theme that the 74-year-old emperor chose centered around the universally revered idea of the triumph of light over darkness. In September, when his mother Queen Elizabeth died, Charles immediately ascended the throne. In British history, Charles will be the oldest person ever to ascend the throne.
May will mark the start of his reign as king, and Camilla Parker-Bowles will also be made queen consort. A seven-decade reign that made the 96-year-old queen a pillar of stability in a turbulent world ended with her death.
Several other foreign leaders including US President Joe Biden, Pope Francis, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese also wished everyone a "Merry Christmas".
