Afterwards the Duchess was heard asking the ambassador, “Do you know anyone who was affected?”
Sylvie quickly responded, “No.”
The royals shared their condolences among other embassy staff where William noted how “truly dreadful” the events were.
Later in the day, the 33-year-old Prince displayed his solidarity with Paris by attending a friendly soccer match between France and England at Wembley Stadium in the British capital.
