King Charles and Queen Camilla react to the devastating hurricane that has hit Jamaica.
His Majesty took to his Instagram on Wednesday to post an official statement about the loss as he extends his prayers for the locals in the Caribbean.
The statement read: “My wife and I have been deeply concerned and deeply saddened to see the catastrophic damage caused by Hurricane Melissa’s ferocity in Jamaica and across the Caribbean. While we continue to monitor the situation closely, our anxious thoughts go out to all those who have been so cruelly affected by this terrible storm.”
The monarch added: “Above all, our deepest sympathies are with the families, friends and loved ones of those who have tragically lost their lives.”
King Charles and Queen Camilla went on to say: “Jamaica is a country for which I have had the greatest affection ever since I first visited the island while serving in the Royal Navy on the West Indies station over fifty years ago.”
“I know that no disaster can break her people’s enduring spirit of strength, solidarity and steadfastness,” His Majesty assured.
