Prince William spent his morning showing his support for the victims of the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas.
The Prince of Wales visited the Western Marble Arch Synagogue in London, where he joined a conversation with ambassadors of the Holocaust Educational Trust, young people who advocate against hatred and antisemitism.
“Antisemitism has no place in our society... Both Catherine and I are extremely concerned about the rise of antisemitism,” William said.
The war, which broke out in October after years of conflict between Israel and Palestine, has taken the lives of more than 30,000 Palestinians in Gaza, and more than 1,200 Israelis.
William’s visit to the synagogue was originally meant to take place on Holocaust Memorial Day, January 27, but the prince postponed it due to wife Princess Kate’s abdominal surgery, which also took place that month.
His speech during the visit marks only the second time he has brought up his wife, Kate, since she underwent the procedure. The first time he spoke of her, post-surgery, was in early February, when he thanked well-wishers at the London Air Ambulance Charity Gala. The Princess of Wales has been recovering at home since January, and has yet to be seen out in public—sparking confusion amongst the public.
The prince’s visit today also comes after he notably skipped the Thanksgiving service for King Constantine of the Hellenes held at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle earlier this week. Bazaar.com learned only that his last-minute absence was due to personal reasons.
