King Charles has issued an emotional statement following the “horrible” incident in Cambridgeshire last night.
Royal expert Emily Ferguson took to X, formerly a Twitter handle, and shared King Charles’ statement, released by the palace.
She tweeted: “NEW: The King is “horrified and shocked” by the knife attack on a train in Cambridgeshire last night.
In a message, King Charles says: “My wife and I were truly shocked and shocked to learn of the terrible knife attack that took place last night on board a train in Cambridgeshire.”
The statement further reads: “Our deepest condolences and thoughts are with all those affected and their loved ones.
“We are especially grateful to the emergency services for their response to this terrible incident.”
The royal family also posted the statement on their social media with the caption: “A message from His Majesty the King, following the attack in Cambridgeshire.”
According to a report from Reuters, Nine people were treated for life-threatening injuries after a series of stabbings on a train near Cambridge, eastern England, on Saturday, and two men were arrested in what Prime Minister Keir Starmer called an “appalling incident”.
“Cambridgeshire Armed Police boarded the train and arrested two people in connection with the incident who were taken into police custody,” police said in a statement.
