King Charles III expressed his gratitude to medical professionals who provided him and his family with care during his cancer treatment in his Christmas address. He also praised the communities' response to the Southport stabbings and recognized the sacrifices of Second World War veterans.
The King has used his Christmas address to pay tribute to the selfless doctors and nurses who provided strength, care and comfort during cancer treatment for himself and the Princess of Wales. In his annual message to the nation and Commonwealth, Charles offered his heartfelt thanks to the medical teams who supported him and his family through the uncertainties and anxieties of illness.
Charles also spoke of his deep sense of pride at how communities responded to the riots following the fatal Southport stabbings of three young girls, by repairing not just buildings, but relationships. Sacrifices made by Second World War servicemen and women, which continue to inspire, across the generations, were acknowledged, as were the daily threats posed to so many by modern conflicts in the Middle East, central Europe and Africa. The King said: 'From a personal point of view, I offer special, heartfelt thanks to the selfless doctors and nurses who, this year, have supported me and other members of my family through the uncertainties and anxieties of illness, and have helped provide the strength, care and comfort we have needed. 'I am deeply grateful, too, to all those who have offered us their own kind words of sympathy and encouragement.' The candid words of praise are in keeping with Charles’ open approach to his illness which saw him publicise his diagnosis in February, in the hope some good would come from his situation. The type of cancer has not been disclosed in a bid to reach the widest number of people. Footage was shown of Charles’ April visit to University College Hospital Macmillan Cancer Centre in central London, his first public-facing event after pausing outside engagements following his diagnosis, where he spoke of his shock at being told he had cancer. As images were broadcast of the King meeting fellow cancer patients, he said: 'All of us go through some form of suffering at some stage in our life, be it mental or physical.
