Watch the King’s Speech 2024
Christmas is a time for traditions. An important one for many is settling down to see the monarch address the nation in the Queen or King’s Christmas Day broadcast. This year it could be particularly poignant for King Charles. Here’s where to watch the King’s Speech 2024 online for free – and from anywhere.
The first Christmas Royal broadcast was given by George V in 1932. Every year since then, the monarch has addressed the nation on Christmas Day, discussing some of the key issues of the time. This year it will be even more poignant as members of the family, including the King himself, have had to deal with some serious health issues. On Christmas Day, health seems to be a central theme of the King’s Speech, as it was recorded in a former hospital chapel.
Last year, the King Charles’ second Christmas Day message focused on togetherness, communities and our duties in supporting each other through difficult periods. Every Christmas Day, the message is both reflective of the year just gone, and offers hope from the monarch for the year to come.
