Earlier today, US Weekly managed to obtain a letter written by the Prince to the Florida City mayor expressing his condolences to the people of Orlando.

Harry says he has a great affection for the city, calling it a “warm and welcome community”. His letter reads as follows:

"Dear Mayor Dyer,
I wanted to write and express my most sincere condolences to the people of Orlando after the horrific attack on the Pulse nightclub on Sunday.

Having just spent time in Orlando I know what a warm and welcoming community it is. In spite of this senseless act, I have no doubt that the love and friendship of your city will remain strong.

I would also like to pass on my deepest admiration to the law enforcement officers who attended the nightclub during the attack for their extraordinary bravery and professionalism.

Our thoughts are with the victims and their loved ones at this most difficult of times. You are all in our prayers as you face the days and weeks ahead.

Best wishes,
Harry"

Harry’s letter follows Prince William and Kate Middleton’s visit to the US embassy yesterday, in which the pair signed a condolence book in tribute to the victims.

“With our deepest condolences and with our thoughts and prayers to all those affected,” they wrote. Kate then signed her name under William’s message, next to her husband’s signature.
