King Charles has written to former US president Donald Trump after he survived an assassination attempt, Buckingham Palace said on Monday.

Charles' message was delivered on Sunday via the UK embassy in Washington, the palace said, adding that the contents would be kept private.

Trump, set to be confirmed as the Republican Party's candidate in the November presidential election, was hit in the ear by a gunman at an election rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday.

He was left with a bloodied face but avoided serious injury. One bystander died, and two others were critically injured in the incident.

British prime minister Keir Starmer spoke to Trump on Sunday, expressing his condolences for the other victim and their family, and wishing the former president and the injured a quick recovery.

Starmer said on X, formerly Twitter, that he was "appalled by the shocking scenes" at the rally.

"Political violence in any form has no place in our societies," the premier said.

Prince William likely to strip Harry and Meghan of HRH titles when he becomes king

The ongoing tension between the British royal family and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex may soon take a decisive turn. As per the sources who spoke to The Daily Beast, Prince William plans to formally remove Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s “HRH” (His/Her Royal Highness) titles when he ascends the throne.

This follows recent revelations that Meghan, despite the couple’s 2020 agreement with the late Queen Elizabeth II, has continued to use her royal style in personal settings. A card attached to a gift basket she sent to a friend, entrepreneur Jamie Kern Lima, included the phrase: “With the Compliments of HRH The Duchess of Sussex.” While the gift was not commercial in nature, it reignited debate over the couple’s commitment to the terms they accepted when they stepped back from their royal roles.
