Charles, Prince of Wales, Celebrates Birthday By Declaring His Support For Paris!

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's eldest son and heir to the throne, Prince Charles, spent six days on a Royal Tour in Australia. His birthday fell during the tour as did the horrific terrorist attacks in France. The Prince tweeted a message of support to the French President via the House of Clarence, the official office of the British royals. "From Australia, The Prince of Wales is sending President Hollande a message of profound sympathy and solidarity with the people of Paris," his representatives wrote.

His Majesty, who turned 67 years old on Saturday, asked for a moment of silence during his birthday celebration, says People. He says, "Our hearts go out as I am sure you will agree to all those who have been affected in the most dreadful way by these bestial attacks. So perhaps in view of this I ask all of you just to observe one minute's silence in memory off all those who have been affected and lost their lives."
