In his first Christmas speech as king, King Charles is to pay tribute to his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.
A picture of Charles giving his address in St. George's Chapel in Windsor is scheduled for broadcast on Christmas Day at 15:00 GMT.
The late Queen talked about "passing the baton" to the following generation in her farewell Christmas speech.
And her son will honour her legacy in his first Christmas Day message.
The late Queen, who appeared in the inaugural TV message in 1957, will not be presenting this year's annual royal Christmas Day programme on television.
The King is pictured in the chapel where a committal service was held during the Queen's burial in September, where he is seen writing down this year's message.
The George VI Memorial Chapel within St. George's Chapel serves as the final resting place for both his mother and father, Prince Philip.
The image, which was made public by Buckingham Palace, shows King Charles posing in front of a Christmas tree decorated with recyclable ornaments with holly and ivy arrangements in the backdrop.
This year sees the King and Camilla the Queen Consort return to the tradition of spending Christmas in Sandringham, Norfolk, after concerns about Covid and Queen Elizabeth's health kept the Royal Family in Windsor last year.
The Prince and Princess of Wales are among the senior royals expected to be with King Charles for Christmas.
In her 2021 Christmas message, the Queen gave a highly personal tribute to her "beloved" Prince Philip, who died in April of that year.
Her broadcast was the most watched programme on Christmas Day in 2021, drawing almost nine million viewers.
