At 12:40 on Christmas Day, the king’s annual Christmas address was broadcast as usual. He spoke about ancient ancestry and his grandfather Gustav Adolf, and then came to the conclusion that the older generation is a link to history, a link that has been broken in various places this year.
– With your help, we can see things from a broader perspective. This year, tragically, many of those ties have been broken. The corona pandemic has claimed many lives. Others have become ill or have lost their livelihood, the king said.
Then he addressed the Swedish people and called on everyone to take responsibility.
– We all have a responsibility. A distance of two meters can save lives, but it can also make a two-minute phone call. In the current situation, we must be wise citizens and caring human beings.
The King: “We are deeply grateful”
The king also addressed everyone who struggles daily during the pandemic:
– There are many of you in our country who fight the pandemic on a daily basis and make sure that our society can function. You can rarely do your work from home. We all depend on your work. I want to tell you that we see your efforts. We are deeply grateful.
Finally, the king looked forward and was hopeful:
– The light is back. The vaccine is on the way. In just a few months, a lot may have changed. We must believe in the future, and while we will look back at this year in different ways, we will also remember that we went through this test together.
– With this, I want to wish you a continuous Merry Christmas and good luck for the new year. Remember: hold on and hold on.
