Where are the condolence messages from the Royal Family?

It's exactly this situation that we need the Royal Family to make a statement. I've looked, but I can't find any messages of condolence from them. The only reference I can find is when The Queen sent a message to the Head of the London Met saying that she wasn't turning up today. And then she eventually says "Sorry to hear about the attacks." - or similar.

Where is the message to those other people who died? Nothing from Charles, or William or anyone else.

I used to be a staunch Royalist but I've changed my mind now. If the Royal Family can't even send out some tweets saying "Condolences to the families of those who died or were injured" then what the bloody hell are they here for?

Am happy to BU and for someone to prove me wrong.

If you really think the Queen tweeting "One is so sorry about it all" is even vaguely important to any of this, I despair.

I read something the Queen had said about it today, something like "our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and families affected by the awful violence" but you know, properly written Blush

I think Prince Harry has posted something on his FB page. Not a statement but a "we stand with London 22/3/17" image.

I haven't heard anything else. Yes, I would have expected the Queen of country to have made a statement. Apologies if she has and I missed it.

I think you're being a bit ridiculous anyway, but you're also wrong:

Issued 22 hours ago

Queen Elizabeth has sent her condolences to those affected by the attack on the British parliament conducted by a lone assailant who killed three people and injured 40.

"My thoughts, prayers, and deepest sympathy are with all those who have been affected by yesterday's awful violence," she said in a statement.

The Queen should send her condolences to the families first, which she did.

Such tragic subject to be a GF about- if this is an anti Royalist poke. Surely in less time than logging on and posting a thread you'd have got the info from Google?

no we don't.

Why would that even cross your mind?

Why would we need a statement?

What possible difference would it make to anyone?

I just don't get it.

A statement was made. Catherine also commented today and how do we know that they have not been in touch with those involved? It's not like they would publicise it.
