King Charles stresses importance of kindness ‘in time of need’ as he skips pre-Easter service

In a recorded message shared during a pre-Easter church service, King Charles III emphasized the importance of friendship and acts of kindness. Due to ongoing cancer treatment, he was unable to attend the service, which was instead represented by Queen Camilla at Worcester Cathedral. The Queen handed out specially minted coins to individuals recognized for their public service. Charles highlighted the significance of serving and caring for one another, drawing inspiration from the example set by Jesus. This marked his first public statement since his daughter-in-law revealed her chemotherapy treatment. Referring to the service that dates back to 600 AD, Charles emphasized the importance of extending friendship, especially in times of need.
