The King has broken tradition by recording this year's Christmas Day message at a church rather than on a royal estate. King Charles has chosen to film the annual address to the nation at a former hospital chapel following his ongoing battle with cancer.
The Monarch will appear on TV screens on Wednesday to deliver his speech from the Fitzrovia Chapel in London, which once served as a chapel for Middlesex Hospital. It marks the first time in 14 years that the King's speech has not been filmed on a royal estate.
