King Charles Won't Speak This Year, Palace Announces

  • On Thursday, Buckingham Palace confirmed that King Charles III will not issue a formal Easter message this year, breaking from last year's tradition when he spoke on Maundy Thursday.
  • The decision drew criticism following the King's February Ramadan greeting, which some supporters noted coincided with Shrove Tuesday, the Christian day before Lent began.
  • Critics questioned the messaging priorities, noting that 46.2% of people in Great Britain identify as Christian while 6.5% identify with Islam, raising questions about prioritization.
  • Online backlash intensified after the announcement, with some users calling the monarch a "ROYAL CLOWN EXPOSED," reflecting broader concerns about his religious role as Head of the Church of England.
  • Palace spokespeople clarified that unlike the annual Christmas broadcast, the Easter message is not guaranteed each year, even as Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer extended his own seasonal greetings.
