King Charles beaten as British nation tuned out of his speech

Despite only being less than a week into New Years, King Charles III may just be off to a rather weak start to 2025.

According to the Christmas Day TV ratings by Wallace and Gromit report, the British monarch has been beaten as the nation tuned out of his speech.

The blow King Charles has faced comes amid several other ongoing family dramas, which he is facing alongside managing his health. In February 2024, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer.

Earlier in 2020, he faced the major blow of his younger son, Prince Harry and daughter-in-law, Meghan Markle announced their exit from royal duties, leaving life in the UK behind with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

Keeping an eye on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex is not the only thing King Charles would now be occupied with as the infamous royal scandal of Prince Andrew made headlines.

As Andrew was accused of being a Chinese spy, Jennie Bond, ex-royal correspondent, called him a “pariah” within the royal family.
