Summary
King Charles III said he and Queen Camilla were “heartbroken” by Nepal’s devastating flash floods and sent “most profound sympathy” to families who lost loved ones or are still awaiting news.
In a written message, the King said many people in the United Kingdom have “strong, deep and personal ties” to the affected region, underscoring the disaster’s resonance beyond Nepal.
Charles also paid tribute to police and armed forces personnel killed while carrying out rescue duties, highlighting the toll on emergency responders as well as civilians.
The UK “stands ready to help support those in need,” he said, as fears of further flooding persist after a rising lake helped trigger the disaster.
