King Charles will likely use this speech as an opportunity to honour his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth III. He first addressed the nation as king on September 9th.
This will mark the first time a male monarch delivered this annual televised Christmas Day address.
The address, which has already been recorded and edited down for time, was recorded on December 13th, at Sandringham, the private royal residence in Norfolk.
The speech, which will last 10 minutes, will also be available for replay via multiple means, which we'll get to below.
