Prince George features in King Charles’ Christmas speech
As clips of George helping out at the charity played, the king said: “Journeying is a constant theme of the Christmas Story. The Holy Family made a journey to Bethlehem and arrived homeless without proper shelter.
“The Wise Men made a pilgrimage from the East to worship at the cradle of Christ; and the Shepherds journeyed from field to town in search of Jesus, the Saviour of the World. In each case, they journeyed with others; and relied on the companionship and kindness of others. Through physical and mental challenge, they found an inner strength.
