King Charles chooses former hospital for Christmas message in poignant break from tradition For the first time in 14 years, the annual address has not been filmed in a royal estate.
In the year he received his cancer diagnosis, the King has chosen to deliver his traditional Christmas message from a former hospital chapel, marking a major break from tradition.
Though what Charles says in his speech will remain a secret, the location suggests themes of health of healthcare may be included, with the location reflecting his own struggles with his health this year.
Instead, Charles has chosen Fitzrovia Chapel - a former hospital chapel -to film his speech.
For the first time in 14 years, the annual address to the nation has not been filmed in a royal estate.
