King Charles gave his second Christmas message, focusing on planet protection and ongoing wars.
In a video shared by Buckingham Palace, Charles was seen beside a Christmas tree and narrated the message of Jesus’ life.
Charles said that Jesus dedicated his life in serving those less fortunate as he honored the “selfless army” that forms the “backbone of our society” helping others.
“At a time of increasingly tragic conflict around the World, I pray that we can also do all in our power to protect each other. ”

“My heart has been warmed by countless examples of the imaginative ways in which people are caring for one another, going the extra mile to help those around them simply because they know it is the right thing to do,” Charles said.
This was the second Christmas message of Charles since he ascended to the throne following the death of Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022.
Charles has been known as a longtime advocate of environmental protection.
“To care for this creation is the responsibility owned by people of all faiths and of none,” he said.
“We care for the earth for the sake of our children’s children,” he added.
Charles also took note of the ongoing wars in Ukraine and Israel.
“They remind us to imagine ourselves in the shoes of our neighbors and to seek their good as we would our own. My heart and my thanks go to all who are serving one another, all who are caring for our common home and all who see and seek the good of others, not least the friend we do not yet know,” he said.
