King Charles has taken a notable new step following his recent personal health message.
Buckingham Palace shared that on Saturday, the British Monarch sent a special Royal Mail post box to Antarctic scientists for Christmas after station staff, Kirsten Shaw, requested a replacement for their previous hand-painted box, with the Royal Household helping organize the gift.
Sharing the snaps and snippets of the moment, the palace captioned the post, “A special delivery to Antarctica – just in time for Christmas!”
They added, “Keen to support the team at the UK’s Rothera Research Station, located in one of the most remote places on Earth, The Royal Household have worked with @RoyalMailOfficial and @BritishAntarcticSurvey to arrange a brand new postbox featuring The King’s cypher.”
It is revealed that the post box arrived on the RRS Sir David Attenborough with the first major supply drop after the Antarctic winter, with station leader Aurelia Reichardt calling it “a piece of home with us.”
Shaw said: “It’s such an honour for the station to be gifted a real Royal Mail post box.”
She went on to say, “It’s given the community here a real boost – and it’s a great reminder to take the time to reach out to loved ones, even when work gets hectic.”
The station leader continued, “For our team, who are working in such a remote place, it’s like having a piece of home with us.”
Notably, this update came after King Charles shared “good news” about his cancer, saying early diagnosis and “effective intervention” will allow reduced treatment in the new year, calling it “a personal blessing” and a testament to advances in cancer care.
