The Queen shares her sadness over the deaths in the Haiti earthquake
The Queen has shared her sadness at the devastation caused by the Haiti earthquake in a message of condolence to the prime minister of the Caribbean nation.
On Monday, the monarch, 95, who is currently staying at her Scottish estate Balmoral, wrote to Haiti's prime minister, Ariel Henry, saying: "I am deeply saddened by the tragic loss of life and destruction caused by the earthquake in Haiti.
"My thoughts and prayers are with those who have lost their lives, loved ones, and homes, as well as the emergency services working in the recovery effort. ELIZABETH R."
There are also fears that heavy rain brought by Tropical Depression Grace, which is expected to pass over the worst affected area later on Monday, could trigger landslides.
The Queen was officially welcomed to Balmoral Castle during a short ceremony last Monday. She traditionally stays at her Scottish estate until October. She is then likely to return to Windsor Castle, where she has permanently resided since the start of the pandemic in March 2020.
During her summer break, her Majesty has been joined by several family members, including the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall, the Duke of York, and his former wife, Sarah, Duchess of York, and Princess Eugenie, Jack Brooksbank and their six-month-old son, August.
