'Our thoughts are with every Australian': Royal families respond to Bondi Beach terror attack

Members of royal families across the globe have offered their condolences in the wake of the royal that claimed the lives of 16 people and left another 40 seriously injured.

The British, Danish and Monagesque royal families are among those who have issued statements regarding the attack, allegedly undertaken by a father-son duo in Sydney's eastern suburbs yesterday evening.

King Charles was the first to release a message, saying he and Queen Camilla were "appalled and saddened" by the "most dreadful antisemitic attack", which occurred at a Chanukah celebration, marking the first day of Hanukkah, at Bondi Beach.

"Our hearts go out to everyone who has been affected so dreadfully, including the police officers who were injured while protecting members of their community," the statement reads.

The King and Queen thanked the police and a hero bystander for their bravery, including the two officers who were shot in the line of duty.

"In times of hurt, Australians always rally together in unity and resolve," they continued.

"I know that the spirit of the community and love that shines so brightly in Australia - and the light at the heart of the Chanukah Festival - will always triumph over the darkness of such evil."
