King Charles has been left "utterly horrified" by the Hawaiian wildfires, a new letter sent to President Joe Biden has revealed.
The King, along with Queen Camilla, wrote a letter to the President during their current vacation in Scotland, and shared their “deepest possible sympathy” to the families of people who have died in the blazes on the island of Maui.
© Tim Graham"My wife and I were utterly horrified to hear of the catastrophic wildfires currently burning in Maui, Hawai'i" the letter read. “We can only begin to imagine the scale of the devastation engulfing the island, and the heartrending anguish of those whose livelihoods have been so disastrously affected.
“However inadequate it may be, we both wanted to send our deepest possible sympathy to the families of those who have so tragically lost their lives, and our prayers remain with all those whose loved ones are missing and whose homes have been destroyed.
“As the recovery effort continues, my special thoughts are with the extraordinarily brave emergency responders and Maui residents who are providing their support and assistance.”
The wildfires erupted earlier this week after strong winds, which hit the island after a passing hurricane came close to land, mixed with the dry summer to spark the blazes.
Celebrities who have shared their support for the island and its residents include Oprah Winfrey, who owns 1000-acres of land in Maui and spends much of the year there. She was spotted at an evacuation point earlier in the week where she donated pillows, diapers and shampoo to those in need.
