Their Serene Highnesses Prince Albert II, joined by Princess Charlène, has issued a message of support for communities affected by the wildfires currently sweeping across several regions of the world, including France, Spain and the United Kingdom.
In the message, the Sovereign expressed his thoughts for the families affected, those forced to leave their homes, and the wider communities mobilising in response to the crisis. He praised the remarkable courage shown by firefighters, emergency responders and all those working tirelessly to protect residents and safeguard the threatened areas.
Prince Albert also drew attention to the toll the fires are taking on natural environments and fragile biodiversity, linking the scale of the destruction in part to the broader disruption caused by climate change, and calling for bold, decisive action in response. He described protecting the environment as an urgent cause capable of uniting everyone.
The Sovereign closed his message by reaffirming Monaco’s solidarity with all those affected during what remains an especially difficult time for the communities in question.
