King speaks of shock and sadness in condolence message after earthquake
King Charles III has sent his condolences to the people of Myanmar after Friday’s deadly earthquake.
In a message on social media, King Charles spoke of the shock and sadness he and the Queen felt about the earthquake, which killed more than 1,600 people.
He sent their “deepest possible sympathy” to those who had lost loved ones, homes or livelihoods.
The King is understood to be staying at his Highgrove estate after spending time in hospital earlier this week due to side effects from his cancer treatment.
The 7.7-magnitude quake killed hundreds at the epicentre near Mandalay, Myanmar. Its powerful effects could be felt hundreds of miles away in Thai capital Bangkok, as well as in China and India.
