<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Buckingham Palace released a statement on behalf of King Charles just as the royal family gathered at St George\u2019s Chapel to mark Easter Sunday service.<\/p>\n
There had been immense criticism surrounding the announcement that Charles will not be making a speech for Easter, like he has done so previously for other occasions. This was not met kindly by many Christian Britons, suggesting that the King has converted to some other religion.<\/p>\n
However, all of that was dismissed as the office of the monarch issued a greeting for the public to mark the occasion.<\/p>\n
\u201cWishing a joyous Easter Sunday to Christians celebrating in the UK, the Commonwealth and around the world today.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, many of the Britons were not still not satisfied as they all expected the King to personally deliver a message.<\/p>\n
\u201cLovely message but I\u2019m confused about who this is from? Is this a formal message from King Charles or from whoever runs this page?\u201d one commentator wrote.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis sounds like a second hand message from someone else. How sad.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWould appreciate this more with an Easter Message from OUR King!\u201d<\/p>\n
Whereas others suggested that Charles was favouring other religions over his own.<\/p>\n
\u201cStill no Easter message but atleast there\u2019s an eid message from the muslim king.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another added, \u201cIt’s simply not good enough.\u201d<\/p>\n
Amid the critics, there were others who defended the King.<\/p>\n
\u201cCan we get over this please. An Easter address has never been a scheduled event. Queen Elizabeth II made just 1 Offical message during the 2020 Lockdown Easter – that\u2019s 1 in 70 years of being the Queen,\u201d a user pointed out.<\/p>\n
\u201cKing Charles issued an Easter message in 2025 so he\u2019s already matched his mother,\u201d they continued.<\/p>\n
\u201cI also bet that every member of the Royal family has been to church more this year alone than many of those worried about the Easter message have in their life time thus far.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Buckingham Palace released a statement on behalf of King Charles just as the royal family gathered at St…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":587813,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[64,63,134],"class_list":{"0":"post-587812","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-entertainment"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/587812","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=587812"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/587812\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/587813"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=587812"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=587812"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=587812"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
