King Charles III and Queen Camilla of the United Kingdom expressed solidarity with the Philippines over death and destruction wrought by recent typhoons.

The British monarch, in a message posted by the UK Embassy in Manila on Tuesday, Nov. 11, said he and his wife were “deeply concerned” by the news of the recent typhoons and floods that have affected the Philippines.

He added they were “profoundly saddened to hear of further loss of life.”

King Charles also sent sympathies to the Filipino people who were affected by the October earthquakes that struck Cebu and Davao Oriental.

“I am well aware that the suffering has been compounded by the devastating effects of two earthquakes in October and our hearts go out to all those who are so cruelly affected by these catastrophic natural disasters,” he said in his message.

“I particularly want to convey our deepest and most heartfelt sympathy to the families of all those who have lost their loved ones and to pay a special tribute to the emergency services who have suffered their own tragic losses as they have assisted in the rescue efforts. Our thoughts and continued prayers are with all who are enduring such appalling suffering at this time,” he continued.

In an earlier post on X (formerly Twitter), British Ambassador to Manila Sarah Hulton said the UK

is helping deliver support for Typhoon Uwan and Tino victims through “prepositioned funding by @UNCERF and emergency relief through @StartNetwork.”

The UK was the latest country to convey sympathy to Filipinos devastated by recent typhoons after Canada, United States, Australia, Ireland, United Arab Emirates, and the European Union.
