“I have no words to thank you for the love and sympathy you showed our entire family”, he said, underlining how emotional Christmas is for “all those who have lost loved ones”.

Carlos III, who will be crowned on May 6 in London, thanked the work of the military, emergency services and health personnel, a few days after the nurses began an unprecedented strike in the country to obtain better wages.

“I especially want to pay tribute to all those wonderfully kind people who so generously“give”meal”, “money” or his “weather”, in these difficult times, he added.
