The King of the United Kingdom, King Charles III, has paid tribute to humanitarian workers who he says “risk their own lives” to protect others in war-torn countries.
King Charles, who is also the head of the Anglican Church, said this in a message broadcast published by Buckingham Palace, to mark Easter.
In his message, the King lamented how humans are capable of both great cruelty and great kindness, referring to the acts of terrorism in several countries as well as heroic acts of humanitarians who risk their lives to save others.
King Charles says this paradox runs through the Easter story as he called on the citizens to spread love this Easter
Reports say the king and Queen Camilla are expected to attend Maundy Thursday services at Durham Cathedral in north-east England, before attending a traditional Easter Mass in Windsor on Sunday.
