The message was in response to the heartbreaking incident in Southport, England. The couple's social media post expressed their sympathy and support for the families affected by the incident. By signing their initials "W and C", the statement directly from William and Kate Middleton bypassed the usual royal communication channels.

The incident occurred during a Taylor Swift-themed yoga and dance class, which was attended by a large number of people. While their identities were not disclosed, William, who knows the pain from his own experience, thanked emergency workers for their professionalism and compassion in such heartbreaking circumstances.

Despite the ongoing challenges, the royal family, including King Charles and Queen Camilla, remain determined to fulfil their duties. William and Kate Middleton, as the Prince and Princess of Wales, have strengthened their connection to the country through their public engagements and appearances.

They are currently looking for an assistant private secretary who is fluent in Welsh to support their work across Scotland, Northern Ireland and particularly Wales. The search comes after Sir Dave Lewis was appointed Director of the Royal Foundation of the Prince and Princess of Wales.

The couple have earned their titles and have demonstrated their commitment to Wales by engaging with its communities and culture. William's efforts to learn Welsh words such as "paned" and "bara brith" demonstrate his commitment to his role as Prince of Wales.
