Kate Middleton and Prince William visited classmates of three children who were fatally stabbed in a Taylor Swift-themed dance class.
On Tuesday, the Prince and Princess of Wales arrived in Southport, England, where they spoke to toddlers and middle school teachers on Fernborough Road to hear how the fatal attack had affected them over a year later.
Additionally, 43-year-old William and Middleton spoke personally with the family of Elsie. Stancom, one of three young girls killed in the stabbing attack.
In July 2024, Stancom was murdered along with Alice da Silva Agier, 9, and 6-year-old Bebe King, and ten people were injured as he attended the “Taylor Swift Yoga and Dance Workshop.”
Axel Ludakbana, then 18 years old, was arrested and charged with three counts of murder and 10 count attempted murder.
In January, Rudakbana, who later boasted of being “very happy” with “the children being dead,” was sentenced to life for 13 people and ordered to have a minimum of 52 years for murder.
Last November, Middleton invited survivors and relatives of the victims of the stabbing attack to the Christmas Carol Service that took place the following month.
“The royal family has been a huge supporter of their families,” a royal source told the Taiyo at the time.
“King (Charles III) met the survivors, and Kate took the time to meet Prince William privately last month.”
The insider said Middleton “personally assures” that everyone affected by the tragic event would be invited “together at Christmas.”
The family and survivors were treated in London for three days.
Swift, 35, met with the families of the survivors and victims at a stop on the ERAS tour in London in August 2024. “Bad Blood” singers also raised over $25,000.
