King Charles III calls for kindness and unity in Christmas message amid global conflicts
On a Christmas Day when the war in Ukraine casts a shadow over Europe, concerns over immigration divide societies, and some politicians fan anger and resentment, King Charles III called on people to focus on kindness instead of conflict.
Delivering his annual holiday address from Westminster Abbey, Charles said on Thursday the Christmas story of wise men and shepherds traveling through the night to find their saviour shows how we can find strength in the "companionship and kindness of others."
"To this day, in times of uncertainty, these ways of living are treasured by all the great faiths and provide us with deep wells of hope, of resilience in the face of adversity," Charles said.
