The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have paid their respects to the victims of the Paris attacks, offering their deepest sympathies.
The royal couple visited the French Embassy in London on Tuesday afternoon to sign a book of condolences in the wake of the weekend’s events, which William described as “truly dreadful”.
The message, which was signed by “William” and “Catherine” read: “To all those who have died and were injured in the heartless attacks in Paris, and to all the people in France: nos plus sincères condoléances.”
They both dressed soberly in dark suits for the solemn occasion.
William later attended an England v France football match in his capacity as president of the Football Association.
The 33-year-old Prince had not originally planned on attending, but decided to show his “solidarity to the French” at Tuesday evening’s friendly.
Prince William and Duchess Catherine join the rest of royal family in paying tribute to the people of Paris and France.
William’s father Prince Charles expressed his “utter and total horror” over the weekend, saying: “Our hearts go out, as I’m sure you would agree, to all those who have been affected in the most dreadful way by these bestial attacks.”
