A message from The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to the people of Sri Lanka

Published 22 April 2019

We have been deeply saddened to learn of the devastating attacks in Sri Lanka this Easter Sunday.

Senseless acts like these in places that people would expect to be at their safest are truly horrifying.

Our hearts go out to the families and friends of those who have lost their lives, to the Christian community, and to the people of Sri Lanka at this tragic time. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
