Watching The King's Christmas Speech - and observing the wording

The event started with the choice in St George's Chapel, Windsor, singing God Save The King.

The speech by King Charles III was an excellent piece of PR. Everybody was included. 

 He started with a mention of his late mother, the Queen.  Everyday and especially Xmas was poignant.

He ended with a positive message of hope. People shining a light, churches, synagogues, mosques and temples, and those whatever faith or none of no faith helping feed the needy. He spoke of the power of light,  Emergency services, and teachers. Those who have lost family members.

What I missed was anything memorable in the language. Nothing like the song, high hopes. Nothing stirring and motivating, like the song, keep right o till the end of the road. No punchline. No repeated theme, like I have a dream. celebrate and cherish - and wish (quoting the hymn)everybody, peace, happiness and everlasting life'.

Never mind. It was okay. Good enough. He did not go wrong.
