A photo of King Charles III taken during the recording of his speech was published on social networks this Monday, December 23. “This year The King's Christmas Broadcast was filmed at Fitzrovia Chapel, London”we can read. We learn that the place is “maintaining a space for reflection, discovery and quiet celebration, connecting diverse communities of all faiths or none”. In 1928, it was Charles III's grandfather, King George VI, who “laid the foundations of the building”. Finally, the publication also indicates that the Christmas tree seen in the photo was donated to associations and will be installed at the Royal Trinity Hospice Clapham, the oldest hospice in the United Kingdom.
Ce lieu would be an idea of the king and most certainly echoes the complicated year that the royal family has just lived, marked by the cancer of King Charles III, but also by that of Kate Middleton. Chris Ship, royal expert for ITV News revealed on his X account (ex-Twitter) that this place had been “chosen to reflect on his and the Princess of Wales’ cancer journey this year”but also because the sovereign “wanted a medical link”. According to the BBCthis choice is also seen as “a tribute to those who work in health services and medical research”.
