Kensington Palace has said Kate and William are “deeply concerned and saddened” by what happened.
The royal couple have also been in touch with the woman, who has been identified as Irene Mayor.
It’s been said that Kate and William also sent flowers to Irene.

William and Kate reportedly did not see the accident at the time and their police teams decided to keep driving to Windsor while other officers stayed at the scene.
