"This is all the more important at a time of real hardship for many, when we need to build on existing ways to support others less fortunate than ourselves," he said.

"We care for the Earth for the sake of our children’s children," he said, adding, “During my lifetime I have been so pleased to see a growing awareness of how we must protect the Earth and our natural world as the one home which we all share.”

King Charles added, “At a time of increasingly tragic conflict around the world, I pray that we can also do all in our power to protect each other.”
