Kate Middleton and Prince William have returned to social media to share an important message about their son, Prince George. Through their Instagram profile, the future British monarchs have confirmed the cancellation of their vacations and those of their other children for a significant reason.
As of today, the Prince and Princess of Wales are enjoying a private vacation with their children, George, Charlotte, and Louis. This family break coincides with the mid-term school holiday, which is typical in the United Kingdom.
However, their responsibilities as active members of the British royal family remain present even during moments of rest. So much so that, according to reports, a tragic breaking news event has forced Kate Middleton and her husband to temporarily interrupt their vacation retreat.
On Monday, May 26, during Liverpool's Premier League title celebration, a serious incident shocked the entire country. A man was involved in a multiple hit-and-run on Water Street, leaving 47 people injured (47 personas), four of whom are in serious condition.
Given the seriousness of what happened, Kate Middleton and Prince William did not hesitate to interrupt Prince George's and his siblings' vacation to break their silence. Through the stories on their official Instagram profile, the Prince and Princess of Wales published a message showing their dismay:
"We are deeply dismayed by what happened yesterday in Liverpool. What should have been a joyful celebration ended in tragedy. Our thoughts are with the injured and with the emergency services and first responders on the ground."

An emotional message that is even more meaningful considering Prince William's strong involvement with English soccer. In fact, Kate Middleton's husband is not only an Aston Villa fan, but he also holds the honorary presidency of the Football Association of England.
Meanwhile, Charles III and Queen Camilla have also issued an emotional statement through their communications team. "We are deeply dismayed and saddened to learn of the terrible event that took place in Liverpool on Monday," the monarchs' statement begins.
"It is truly devastating to see that what should have been a joyful celebration for so many could end in such distressing circumstances," they add. The monarchs' message ended with words of support for the city.
"In these very painful times for the people of Liverpool, I know that the strength of the community spirit for which your city is known will be a comfort and support to those who need it. Our prayers and our deepest condolences are with all those affected."
They have also taken the opportunity to thank "the first responders, emergency personnel, and others who came to the aid of the injured."
