The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry attended a multi-faith “service of hope” at Westminster Abbey Tuesday to remember the victims of the March 22 terror attack in London. The attack, carried out by a British-born assailant near the Houses of Parliament and on Westminster Bridge, left four people dead and at least 40 injured.
Prince William laid a wreath at the Innocent Victims Memorial and delivered a reading during the service.
After the service, Kate, Will and Harry met with victims of the attack and their families. Melissa Cochran, the American woman whose husband, Kurt Cochran, died in the attack, was brought into the abbey in a wheelchair after sustaining a broken leg and rib in the incident. The Utah couple were celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary with a trip to London when 52-year-old Khalid Masood drove his car into pedestrians.
The royals also met with first responders who were on the scene, according to the palace Twitter account.
Kate and Queen Elizabeth II both issued statements at the time of the incident. Kate opened a speech about motherhood and mental health the day following the attack with a message to the victims and their families. “We will be thinking of all the families as we discuss the important issues we’re here to talk about,” she said.
In a statement issued by the palace, the queen offered “thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathy” for all those affected.
