King Charles has close links to Greece as the great-grandson of King George I of Greece. His father, Prince Phillip, was also half-Greek.
He has visited the country many times. The Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis met with Charles in Windsor last year.
The statement continued: “During our visits to Greece we have always been struck by the kindness and generosity of the Greek people.
“Our thoughts, prayers and heartfelt sympathy are with all those who have been affected by this appalling tragedy.”
The statement follows Harry and Meghan’s ‘eviction’ from Frogmore Cottage
The statement follows confirmation from Prince Harry and wife Meghan Markle they “have been requested to vacate their residence at Frogmore Cottage”.
Harry and Meghan lived at Frogmore Cottage after being gifted it by the late Queen in 2018.
They now live in California with their children Archie and Lilibet.
Buckingham Palace has not commented on the report.
Reports also suggest that Frogmore Cottage has now been offered to Prince Andrew.
