In her most significant public engagement to date this year, Catherine, 42, joined Prince William to meet with the families of Bebe King, six, Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, and Alice Dasilva Aguiar, nine.
In a touching move, Kate Middleton has invited the children who survived the Southport stabbings to her Christmas carol concert after meeting them last month.
Their meeting with the victims' families was held completely in private and not announced publicly until they had left.They also spent time with dance teacher Leanne Lucas, 35, who was seriously injured as she shielded youngsters as they were attacked by a knifeman during a Taylor Swift-themed summer holiday class.
According to The Sun, the young survivors of the horrendous attack will stay in London for three days, with their transport and accommodation paid for by charity Southport Stronger Together. Axel Rudakubana , of Banks in Lancashire, is charged with the murders of Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, six-year-old Bebe King, six, and Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven
The killings sparked large scale riots, fuelled by misinformation on social media, in towns and cities across the UK in August. Rudakubana was born in Cardiff to Rwandan parents and moved to the Southport area in 2013. He was living in Banks, Lancashire, at the time of the attack. While speaking to the emergency personnel, Kate was asked how the families of the three girls killed in the attack were doing.
