King Charles will address the nation later today when his annual Christmas speech airs on TV. This will be the monarch's second festive address after an incredibly busy year which has seen the Coronation, his landmark 75th birthday, several important foreign trips and a stream of family dramas.
The monarch is following in the footsteps of his predecessors by making a Christmas speech - an annual trend which was started by King George V in 1932.
From that year up until 1957, the speech could only be heard on the radio as Queen Elizabeth II became the first sovereign to have her message broadcast on TV. The King will appear on TV today at 3pm in his annual slot where he will address the nation with his Christmas message.
The broadcast will air simultaneously on BBC One, ITV, Sky One, Sky News and you will be able to listen to it on BBC Radio 4.
You will also be able to watch the message online through the Royal Family’s YouTube Channel and their Facebook page.
The message will be pre-recorded and will be accompanied by footage related to the King's speech. While the exact contents of the monarch’s speech is not yet known, it is likely he will touch on his historic year that has included everything from his Coronation on 6 May to his 75th birthday on 14 November.
Much like his late mother, the King will likely pay homage to the religious significance of Christmas - as well as touch on some of global events taking place today, such as the war in Ukraine and the crisis in Gaza. His speech last year, which was recorded in St George's Chapel, Windsor, saw the King pay tribute to his late mother and her faith in people's ability to do good.
