Prince of Wales to send message of sympathy over Paris terror attacks

The Prince of Wales is to send French president Francois Hollande a message of "profound sympathy and solidarity with the people of Paris", a Clarence House spokeswoman said.

More than 127 people are feared to have been killed during a night of terror in the French capital in which there were several suicide attacks and a bombing near the Stade de France stadium, shootings at restaurants and a massacre inside a popular music venue.

Charles and Camilla are currently on a tour of Australia and will continue with engagements in Albany and Perth today, the spokeswoman added.
