King Charles visits Golders Green neighborhood, meets with victims of stabbing attack

King Charles III visited the heavily Jewish neighborhood of Golders Green in London to show support for the local community, after a stabbing attack in which a terrorist wounded two Jewish men last month.

Crowds gathered to greet the monarch during his hour-long visit today, according to local reports, with some shouting, “Long live the King,” and thanking him for coming.

Charles met with the two victims stabbed in late April, Norman Shine, 76, and Shloime Rand, 34. He also met with Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis, members of the Jewish police force Shomrim, who helped detain the terrorist, and representatives from the Jewish Hatzola ambulance service.

“It’s a dangerous world, isn’t it?” the king said, while speaking with members of the public. When another person described the April 29 attack as “horrific,” Charles replied: “I know.”

The visit was intended to “reaffirm his steadfast support” for the Jewish community amid rising security concerns following the attack, Buckingham Palace says in a statement.

Yesterday, King Charles said the British government will take immediate action to tackle antisemitism at the ceremonial opening of parliament.

The King’s grandmother, Princess Alice of Battenberg, was recognised as Righteous Among the Nations for saving Jews during the Holocaust.

Following the horrific rise in antisemitism and the recent terror attacks targeting Jews, the King has visited Golders Green today.
