GB News fans were up in arms as anchor Patrick Christys took aim at King Charles after his Christmas Day speech. The star – who is married to fellow GB News host Emily Carver – took to X yesterday (December 25) but risked the ire of his regular supporters as he hit out at the monarch’s “meaningless word salad”.

Christys wrote: “Bit of a meaningless word salad from King Charles there. Liked the bit about remembering veterans, but found the rest of his Christmas message a bit pointless. What do you think?” His fellow GB News colleague Adam Brooks seemed to agree, writing: “Didn’t watch the King’s speech, I’m really not a fan tbh.

“And I definitely didn’t watch the loony Green Party leader call for MORE asylum seekers either. I’ve had a nice day without politics or watching/reading those that seek to destroy our country.”

Fans weren’t happy, however, as one fumed in the replies section: “Despite his best efforts, poor Patrick can’t find anything specific in the speech to cry about, so ‘a bit pointless’ will have to do.”

Someone else said: “Nothing says Merry Christmas like going on Twitter to slag off the annual speech from our monarch.”

“Bloke fighting cancer tries to give a message of hope, unity and belief to his divided and unhappy country and you chose to come to Twitter to slag him off, rather than spend time with your child on their very first Christmas. Stay classy Christys,” another snapped.

However, others seemed to agree with Christys, as one said: “Pointless is correct… time for William and Kate to lead the Royal Family.”

Another said: “I miss Queen Elizabeth II.”

“Much ado about nothing. No message really,” a third echoed.
