Prince Charles wrote a poignant letter of solidarity to Dr Ariel Henry, Haiti’s Prime Minister. In a letter bearing the Prince of Wales’s heraldic badge, the royal said: “I wanted you to know how much we feel for you and all the people of Haiti following the devastating tragedy of yet another earthquake, closely pursued by that dreadful tropical storm in the midst of an ongoing pandemic.
“Knowing just how much the Haitian people have had to endure over the recent years, our hearts go out to all those who have so tragically lost members of their family, as well as their homes, or have been injured.
“We send you and your people our deepest sympathy at such an agonizing time.”
This personal letter was shared on Twitter by Mockbul Ali OBE, the British Ambassador to the Dominican Republic and Haiti.
The diplomat also shared the UK has been supporting Haiti during this difficult time by providing shelter kits and emergency lighting to those affected by the earthquake.
Moreover, the Royal Navy is providing a platform for the relief effort, he added.
The Prince of Wales’ letter to Dr Henry comes as the Queen is on holiday at Balmoral.
While at her private Scottish estate, the 95-year-old continues to carry out her daily duties as a sovereign, including receiving the Government’s red box.
However, she normally delegates to other members of the Firm other engagements.
