Listen: King Charles delivers personal Easter message after royal cancer diagnosis

The King delivered his personal Easter message during a Royal Maundy Service at Worcester Cathedral today (28 March).

Charles’s message was broadcast before the start of the service, as the King expressed “great sadness” at not being able to attend in person.

The monarch is currently undergoing cancer treatment, following his diagnosis earlier this year.

In his message, he said: “In this country we are blessed by all the different services that exist for our welfare.

“But over and above these organisations and their selfless staff, we need and benefit greatly from those who extend the hand of friendship to us, especially in a time of need.”
