“I am deeply moved by the tragic consequences of the multiple wildfires currently ravaging California. The human and material losses are devastating. On behalf of my Family and the people of Monaco, I wish to express our heartfelt solidarity and compassion to the victims, the homeless, and those who have been evacuated.
I also want to commend the incredible work of the firefighters and the rescue teams, whose courage and unwavering commitment are a true example of dedication. Please be assured, Mr. President, of our profound solidarity in this difficult ordeal,” he wrote.
This is not the first time that Prince Albert II has expressed his support for the United States and President Biden. The Sovereign sent a letter of condolence to the American President following the car-ramming attack in New Orleans during the New Year celebrations, which left 14 people dead and dozens injured.
In his compassionate message, he expressed, on behalf of his family and all Monegasques, his profound solidarity with the families of the victims and the American people, strongly condemning the act of violence.
