King Charles snubs Harry and Meghan in Christmas message, praises ‘selfless’ people
public service Monday in a Christmas message that he connected to the health of the planet and wars that are raging.In a prerecorded video shot with him standing beside a Christmas tree in Buckingham Palace, the king spoke of the message of Jesus’ life in serving those less fortunate as he honored the “selfless army” that forms the “backbone of our society” helping others.“My heart has been warmed by countless examples of the imaginative ways in which people are caring for one another, going the extra mile to help those around them simply because they know it is the right thing to do,” he said.It was the king’s second Christmas speech since he ascended the throne after his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, died in September 2022, but the first since his coronation in May when he was officially crowned in a medieval ceremony rich in pageantry and pomp.Charles, who has long campaigned for environmental causes and recently told foreign leaders at the COP28 Climate Meeting that achieving climate goals remain “dreadfully far off track,” said he was encouraged to see awareness growing of the need to protect the earth.“To care for this creation is the responsibility owned by people of all faiths and of none,” he said. “We care for the earth for the sake of our children’s children.”In his own gesture towards sustainability, the evergreen next to him was bedecked in natural decorations made from wood, dried oranges, pinecones and paper.

Why King Charles celebrates 2 birthdays — but Prince William won’t as monarch
Trooping the Colour.King Charles III will attend his first Trooping the Colour parade as sovereign on June 17 and it will mark his official birthday.However, the 74-year-old’s completion of another trip around the sun is actually on November 14.So why does the monarch observe two birthdays every year?The answer lies in something pretty unexpected: the weather.Trooping the Colour has been a tradition in the royal family since 1748.However, Edward VII — who reigned from 1901 to 1910 — was born in November, and he decided to move the bash to June because there was less likely to be rainy skies.And he didn’t want anything to ruin the joyful occasion. But the custom may wane if Prince William or his oldest son, Prince George, take the throne in the future.George, 9, celebrates his big day on July 22, while the Prince of Wales, 40, honors his birthday on this year’s summer solstice, June 21.During the Trooping the Colour, hundreds of soldiers and horses stomp the ground from Buckingham Palace to Horse Guards Parade.Members of the royal family ride alongside the military personnel on horseback and in carriages.The late Queen Elizabeth often participated in the parade, despite her birthday being in April.
