A long awaited speech. This Saturday for his first Christmas message as monarch, King Charles III once again paid tribute from St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle on Sunday to his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II. The sovereign said he shared with “all his heart” his mother’s faith in God and humanity.

“King of Hearts”
In general, the sovereign’s departure convinced the press on the other side of the Channel, which nevertheless has the just reputation of having hard teeth. On the side of the tabloids, Sun he reserves his cover for Carlos, whom he describes as “King of hearts”, to understand the “king of hearts”.
The monarch, in effect, mentioned the “anxiety” and “hardship” of those who face war, famine or natural disasters, as well as those who “here are looking for ways to pay their bills or feed and heat their families “.
The newspaper also salutes the tribute paid to Elizabeth II.
For its part, the Daily Mail salutes the king’s “message of hope and love” and also insists on the emotional tribute of a son to his late mother. On the other hand, the British tabloids, it seems, have not pointed to the fact that the king did not mention the case of Harry and Meghan.

“Her Majesty took advantage of her first Christmas message to show her sympathy for those who are struggling with bills,” we can still read.
An opinion also shared by The Guardian either the independentwho insist that Charles “shined light on the cost of living”.
