Despite continuing his recovery after a brief hospital visit, King Charles has reached out to express his condolences to the people of Myanmar following a devastating earthquake.
The Monarch, who is currently resting at Highgrove Estate in Gloucestershire, took a moment to address the tragedy in an emotional statement.
King Charles’ Message
In a message shared via the official Royal Family social media channels, Charles wrote: “The people of Myanmar. My wife and I were most dreadfully shocked and saddened to learn of the devastating earthquake in Myanmar, with its tragic loss of life and appalling damage to homes, buildings, and livelihoods, not to mention the destruction of sacred pagodas, monasteries, and other places of worship.”
“I know that the people of Myanmar continue to endure so much hardship and tragedy in your lives, and I have long admired your extraordinary resilience and spirit.”
“At this most difficult and heartbreaking of times, my wife and I send our deepest possible sympathy to all those who have suffered the profound tragedy of losing their loved ones, their homes, and their precious livelihoods.”
King’s Recent Hospital Visit
Last Thursday, Buckingham Palace confirmed that King Charles had attended a hospital for a short period due to side effects from his ongoing cancer treatment. As a result, he was forced to cancel planned engagements in Birmingham on Friday to focus on his recovery.
