Prince William and Princess Kate have been praised for their visit to Southport, where they toured the schools of the three girls who tragically died in the July 2024 dance class attack. Their parents expressed deep appreciation for the royal support during emotional meetings at Farnborough Road Infant and Junior School and Churchtown Primary School. “Prince William asked if that would be her favourite place and I said yes, she would have been there dancing away,” Mrs Aguiar said. The mother, 34, glowed that Kate and William’s visit had given them and the school’s pupils a “day they will never forget”. Students at both schools expressed astonishment at the unexpected royal visit.
