HELLO! understands King Charles has requested daily updates on the matter and plans to be engaging on the topic privately; the monarch has a long history of interest in community cohesion matters.
It is also understood that members of the royal family will only be undertaking engagements so long as they don’t add an additional burden for frontlines services, due to their protection requirements, and the likelihood that they won’t add to community tensions.
Following the Southport attack, the monarch said: “My wife and I have been profoundly shocked to hear of the utterly horrific incident in Southport today.
“We send our most heartfelt condolences, prayers and deepest sympathies to the families and loved ones of those who have so tragically lost their lives, and to all those affected by this truly appalling attack. Charles R.”
