King Charles has revealed behind the scenes of his emotional annual Christmas Day speech.
The monarch, 76, filmed his special message from a former chapel at London’s Middlesex Hospital to emphasize the link with the country’s vital healthcare community.
The Christmas message was only filmed “on location” for the fourth time, rather than on an actual property.
During Charles’ speech, he offered an emotional thank you to the “selfless” doctors who have supported his family this year during an address to the nation on Wednesday.
The official Royal Family instagram The account has now shared a clip showing how much work went into making everything perfect for the annual occasion.
The clip showed the Grenadier Guards Band donning their bold scarlet red uniform, along with Charles practicing his speech.
Part of the video message was filmed by a drone that passed through the doors of the building before stopping short of reaching the smart guards.
Team members also helped decorate the scene with lighted holiday trees and decorations to help set the scene.
Behind-the-scenes footage showed Charles discussing with technicians how to use the autocue to read his speech, as well as reviewing the footage after it had been filmed.

He said: ‘I felt a deep sense of pride here in the UK when, in response to anger and anarchy in several cities this summer, communities came together, not to repeat these behaviors but to repair them.
‘To repair not only buildings, but also relationships. And, most importantly, repair trust; listening and, through understanding, deciding how to act for the good of all.’
Saying that “we all go through some kind of suffering at some point in our lives, whether mental or physical,” he emphasized that it is the degree to which we help each other, regardless of nationality or faith, that is a “measure of our civilization as nations.”
“This is what continually impresses me, as my family and I gather and listen to those who dedicate their lives to helping others,” he added.

‘I have met the King before. He said ‘I remember you’, I’m thinking ‘what!’, like many years ago?’
He said Charles and Kate seemed “pretty good actually, considering what they’re going through.”
And he added after hugging Kate: “What a privilege.”

‘People like you are doing all the hard work there is. I am enormously grateful.’
Another woman added: “We’re all rooting for you, never forget that,” to which Kate replied: “Thank you so much, (he’s) very kind, nice to meet you.”
