Easter Message from Prince Charles

In 2018, Prince Charles released his first Easter Message on Good Friday. The 2018 and 2019 speeches were reported as a possible new annual address by Prince Charles to contrast Queen Elizabeth II's Christmas Address. This "new tradition" did not continue in 2020, when Queen Elizabeth II gave a speech instead due to the recent Coronavirus outbreak and lockdown.
