Following a backlash from social media users and clerics, the Royal family made an apparent U-turn and issued a message to Christians
British King Charles III has come under fire after Buckingham Palace said earlier this week that he would not deliver an Easter message, despite recently issuing one to Muslims on Ramadan. The Royal family later made an apparent U-turn, offering a brief greeting to Christians.
The British monarch is traditionally the Supreme Governor of the Church of England.
On Thursday, GB News quoted a Buckingham Palace representative as saying that King Charles would not issue an Easter message.
The announcement drew criticism from social media users, many of whom described the king’s Easter silence as “disappointing.”
“We are hurting as a nation, we needed a message of Easter hope,” one user wrote.
Some critics have taken issue with the fact that, in February, the Royal family posted a message on its social media accounts marking the beginning of Ramadan, the holiest month in the Islamic calendar.
“Wishing all Muslims in the UK, the Commonwealth and around the world a blessed and peaceful Ramadan,” the greeting said.
