Buckingham Palace has released an official statement after King Charles III privately contacted Donald Trump to express his support following a shocking shooting incident in Washington.
According to reports, the King and Queen Camilla shared their sympathies with those affected, particularly the political figures who were present during the attack, which occurred at a hotel in the US capital. Royal commentator Rebecca English noted that the couple also extended their gratitude to security personnel for their swift response, which helped prevent further harm.
In its statement, Buckingham Palace confirmed that the monarch is being kept closely updated on the situation. “His Majesty is being kept fully informed of developments and is greatly relieved to hear that the President, First Lady, and all guests have been unharmed,” the statement read.
The Palace also acknowledged that discussions are underway regarding how the incident might impact the King’s upcoming visit to the United States. “A number of discussions will be taking place throughout the day to assess to what degree the events may affect operational planning for the visit,” the statement added.
King Charles and Queen Camilla are scheduled to begin their US trip on April 27, with the visit set to conclude on April 30. In light of the recent events, concerns have been raised about the monarch’s safety. However, Palace officials, in coordination with the UK government, are closely monitoring the situation and making necessary security arrangements.
