King Charles issued a new powerful message to mark the 76th anniversary of Commonwealth Day, but viewers of Good Morning Britain weren’t satisfied.

GMB’s Nick Dixon discusses King’s Commonwealth message

Good Morning Britain viewers branded King Charles “out of touch” after his annual message for the Commonwealth Day’s 76th anniversary was released. During the speech, the king claimed “there is no more important task than to restore the disrupted harmony of our entire planet”. On Monday’s (March 10) instalment of Good Morning Britain, correspondent Nick Dixon discussed the message, saying it came at an “incredibly sensitive time with a backdrop of global tensions”.

“Something that the King has referenced, albeit subtly in his Commonwealth message, calling for unity and building bridges and what he describes as these difficult times, emphasising the importance of spirit, support and friendship,” Dixon continued. Despite the king’s positive message, Good Morning Britain viewers took to social media to voice their complaints.

One wrote: “Need to sort out our domestic issues first: Economy, Crime, NHS, Education, Immigration. Until you do this you won’t get much harmony in the UK.”

A second fumed: “Out of touch with the country, the country needs restoring , he reminds of mad king George III.”

Another echoed: “Restoring harmony, Charles? How about starting by addressing the inequality, environmental harm, and colonial legacies that still plague our planet—issues the monarchy is deeply tied to. Talk is cheap when it’s not backed by meaningful action.”

A fourth declared: “FGS!! What a pointless statement! Charlie can’t even organise the “disrupted harmony” in his own family!!”

Another added: “King Charles needs to look out for the UK British tax payer, why is this being allowed to happen, hordes of unchecked men invading the UK, energy prices the highest ever, I think he needs to start acting like a king and question why the UK is in this state, but he won’t.”

However, another agreed with the monarch as they wrote: “King Charles is right—protecting our planet should be a top priority. Global cooperation is key to restoring balance and sustainability.”

Royal expert Sarah Hewson revealed that one of the concerns raised about Charles before he became King was whether or not he would be able to avoid meddling in politics.

Hewson claimed he has successfully managed to do this in his speech, adding: “There’s a difference between meddling and diplomacy, and the king is putting those soft diplomatic skills to full effect right now.”

King Charles will attend the Commonwealth Day service tomorrow (Monday) after missing it, along with the Princess of Wales, last year due to his cancer treatment.

Charles will be joined by the Prince and Princess of Wales, Princess Anne and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester for the service in Westminster Abbey
