Prince William, 44, shared his statement on Instagram addressing the wildfire crisis. He said, “Our thoughts are with everyone affected by the devastating wildfires across France, Spain and the U.K. We are deeply grateful to the firefighters, emergency services and volunteers working tirelessly in extraordinarily difficult conditions. These events highlight the challenges of an increasingly extreme climate. They also show the importance of protecting both people and nature.”
The statement read, “Across France and Spain, authorities have ordered more than 300,000 people to evacuate their homes. Gironde, around the city of Bordeaux, is the worst-affected area in France. Authorities there have ordered more than 200,000 people to leave their homes.”
“London Fire Brigade has faced a busy weekend, with more than 1,300 incidents including grass fires, property fires and rescuing a person from the Thames. These wildfires follow a summer of heatwaves across Europe that have seen temperatures reach above 40C in many places. My thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by these devastating wildfires and those who have had to evacuate their homes❤️,” he added.
The wildfires broke out amid the heatwave across Europe as temperatures crossed the severe level, according to People. So far, the U.K. has faced small wildfires while Scotland is facing major wildfires. The message came as Prince William and Princess Kate were busy with their summer holiday. The royal family’s summer events also included Royal Ascot, Kate’s National Three Peaks Challenge, and Wimbledon men’s tennis championship.
The couple recently attended the annual Trooping the Colour festivities with Prince George, 13, Princess Charlotte, 11, and Prince Louis, 8.
