The King has met the bereaved families of the Southport stabbing victims during a private audience at his London home.
Charles sat down in Clarence House with the parents of the children killed in the attack at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class on July 29.
He travelled to Southport on Tuesday and spent 45 minutes with some of the children who survived the attack and their families, after viewing a sea of floral tributes to the victims.
Following the stabbings, rioting broke out in Southport with the local mosque targeted and a popular convenience shop attacked, with further violence across the country for a number of days.
The disorder included looting with hotels housing asylum seekers also attacked before counter demonstrations appeared to quell the disturbances.
The violence, denounced as “far-right thuggery” by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, was sparked by false claims about the identity of a teenage suspect later charged with three counts of murder.
Helen Marshall, 71, was among the crowds and said: “The last few weeks have been devastating but the community spirit is the thing keeping us going.”
The King also visited a local fire station to meet members of the local emergency services who dealt with the attack, and others from the community affected by the rioting.
