King Charles used his first Christmas message to discuss the cost of living crisis, the BBC reports.
He spoke of “great anxiety and suffering” for those trying to “pay their bills and keep their families warm and well.”
Images of food banks and helping the homeless were shown in the background of the speech, which was recorded by the King at St George’s Chapel in Windsor.
He paid tribute to his mother Queen Elizabeth, who was buried in the chapel.
The late queen was a pioneer of the televised royal Christmas address, and she used her message last year to talk about “passing the baton” to the next generation.
The topics of the king’s speech dealt with issues such as caring for the poor, the importance of public service, and supporting a multi-religious approach to religion.
Only “current members of the royal family” appeared on screen during the King’s speech, including the Queen Consort, the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Earl of Wessex and Princess Anne.
Buckingham Palace said the funds donated after the late Queen’s death have been donated to a charity that helps those unable to pay their energy bills.
The King gathered with other senior members of the royal family at Sandringham for Christmas, having previously attended a traditional Christmas service for the first time as a monarch.
The King’s Speech continues a tradition that dates back 90 years: the first royal Christmas address on radio was delivered in 1932 by George V. The first television broadcast was presented by Elizabeth II in 1957.
In terms of stylistic changes, the king delivered his first message not from the table, but standing, and his subjects dealt with more pressing social issues.
But there were also many traditions. It is a Christmas message, delivered in a chapel to the choir, that deals with themes of faith, hope, and the importance of serving others.
The choir ended the performance, as they did last year during the Queen’s final message, with the song “Oh, city of Bethlehem” and the King emphasized its message that “light has overcome darkness”.
We remind you, earlier the British criticized the royal Christmas tree, calling it dull and miserable.
