Justin Welby told those in attendance to "pray" for the Prince and Duchess, praising their "dignity". He also highlighted their "lack of selfishness" when talking about their health. His speech began with: "In each of our lives, there are moments which change us forever sometimes it is individual." He went on to appreciate the Royal duo's grace and faith, saying: "We have watched and sympathised with, and felt alongside, the dignity of the King and the Princess of Wales as they have talked of their
cancer and in doing so, by their lack of selfishness, by their grace and their faith, boosted so many others." Read More Related Articles Lesser-known condition that causes breathing problems as expert warns 'see GP' Read More Related Articles Six key 'red flag' cancer symptoms to know as

Kensington Palace indicated that the messages of care from all over the globe meant a lot to both Charles and Kate. Mr Welby, in his annual Easter Day Holy Communion address, urged for "love in action" to aid those affected by conflict, including children in
Gaza and Sudan, hostages held by Hamas and people in Ukrainian cities. The Archbishop of Canterbury sent his well wished to the Royals (Image: Andrew Matthews/PA Wire) He stated: "Whether it is the evil of people smugglers, or county lines in our schools, or the pain and suffering in a family riven with grief or rage or substance abuse, Jesus, the God-man, who experienced every pain and temptation, is calling you and me to love in action." He further mentioned that the church "is not party political" as its members have diverse political views. Instead, it acts "because of what God says", referring to the Church of England's participation in over 30,000 social projects and 8,000 food banks. "Let us seek action amongst the starving children of Gaza and Sudan and the parents who try desperately to find food for them, action for the hostages held by Hamas, for those in the trenches and cities and fears of
Ukraine, in at least 30 but probably closer to 50 other places of armed conflict, action for the 25-30% of children in this country in poverty," he said. Join the Daily Record
