A 21st century monarchy with a modern humble Human being that happens to be King. Happy Christmas to all 🎄🎅🏾🤴🏽🎁 🦌. Long live the King.

This American thinks the King's speech was heartfelt, filled with compassion. I loved his references to Jesus who was selfless and taught us how to love. It was a beautiful speech and the Childrens Choir was a very special and lovely touch. I believe QEII would be very impressed and proud of her son, the King. Merry Christmas to the Royal Family and to all!

Timeless, brilliant, lovely, true speech. You would never get this sort of sentiment from any 'politician', a true testament to the importance of the enduring symbol of the royal family, and the good values which Britain ultimately rests upon.
