King Charles praised the five million unpaid carers and 1.6 million professional social care workers, highlighting their selfless dedication.
His Majesty acknowledged the significant challenges faced by carers, including isolation, exhaustion, and financial strain, and called for practical support.
The King specifically addressed young carers, some as young as five, who balance care responsibilities with their own development, urging protection of their childhood and education.
The event marked the first public appearance together for Sir Keir and the King since the release of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, which has caused controversy for both.
