King Charles attended a poignant Advent service at Westminster Abbey on Wednesday morning in the lead-up to Christmas and was photographed looking very happy and relaxed.

The congregation included UK and international Christian leaders, members of the Anglican clergy, representatives of other faiths and charities, as well as staff from CIAC and NLCA who were honoured to attend the service.

Just like his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, religion and faith are themes that run deeply through King Charles’s life and are central to who he is. An incredibly sentimental and thoughtful man, the King’s devotion to faith extends beyond his role as Supreme Governor of the Church of England and is evident in many of his decisions, most notably in the way he ensured that all faiths were recognised during his Coronation.
