In his 2025 Easter message, King Charles reflected on the paradox of human nature - how we are capable of both great cruelty and great kindness. He urged the nation and the world to return to the enduring Christian virtues of faith, hope, and love, declaring, 'The greatest of these is love’. His message comes amid global suffering and humanitarian crises, yet also amid acts of selfless courage and compassion. Quoting John 3:16, the King reminded listeners of God’s love in sending Christ to live among us and lay down his life - a love stronger than death. He also noted that Christ’s love transcends boundaries and is echoed across other faiths and in every heart that seeks the good of others. The King expressed admiration for humanitarian workers and noted the enduring message of Maundy Thursday, when Jesus humbly washed His disciples’ feet. Continuing the royal Maundy tradition, the King and Queen distributed symbolic coins in honour of those offering exceptional Christian service, underscoring his role as both monarch and servant leader.
