In the wake of the Bondi Beach shootings and the Manchester synagogue attack, Charles also praised the "spontaneous bravery" of those who put themselves in "harm's way to defend others".
And the King referenced the impact new technologies can have on wellbeing and community cohesion as the world spins "ever faster", suggesting the festive period might be a moment to recharge and for those communities to grow stronger.
