King Charles III has publicly expressed his gratitude to the police for their efforts in quelling recent far-right riots that have shaken the United Kingdom.
Restore Peace in Affected Areas
The monarch attributed the violence to "the delinquency of a small number" and urged for "mutual respect and understanding" across the nation, according to Ziare.
During phone conversations with Prime Minister Keir Starmer and police officials, the British sovereign conveyed his encouragement, acknowledging the widespread solidarity that countered the aggression.
A Buckingham Palace spokesperson noted, "His Majesty was deeply encouraged by the numerous examples of solidarity that stood against the aggression and delinquency of a few, with the compassion and resilience of the many."
Currently on holiday in Scotland, King Charles extended "sincere thanks to the police and emergency services for all they do to restore peace in areas affected by disorder and violence."
He also expressed his hope that the nation’s common values of respect and mutual understanding would continue to strengthen and unify the country.
Sends Condolences to Families
King Charles and Queen Camilla sent condolences to the families of three young girls, aged six to nine, who were tragically killed in a knife attack during a dance class in Southport, in northwest England, on July 29.
The royal family had remained silent on the violence that ensued for a week following the attack, despite online rumors about the suspect.
Prime Minister Starmer cautioned that the police must remain "on alert" due to the ongoing risk of racist and Islamophobic violence.
Although the situation has calmed in recent days, he emphasized the importance of vigilance, particularly with the upcoming football matches, which have historically been linked to far-right hooliganism. Thousands of police officers have been mobilized in response to the unrest that began last Tuesday.
