King Charles will deliver his Christmas Day message from a church with links to the medical community, Buckingham Palace said, in a break with tradition amid his continued cancer treatment.

The 76-year-old monarch revealed in February that he was battling an unspecified cancer and returned to public duties in April. Last week, a palace source told CNN that his "treatment has been moving in a positive direction" and "will continue into next year."

The annual festive broadcast is normally recorded at Buckingham Palace or Windsor Castle. But the British monarch opted to film this year's message at Fitzrovia Chapel in central London, which was previously a hospital chapel before it was demolished in 1924.
