<\/p>\n
King Charles has visited Golders Green to meet victims of last month\u2019s stabbing attack, as the monarch continued a series of public engagements focused on community solidarity during a period of heightened concern over antisemitism and public safety <\/p>\n
\nAs the monarch, 77, continued a series of public engagements focused on community solidarity during a period of heightened concern over antisemitism and public safety in Britain, he was greeted by crowds chanting \u201clong live the King\u201d as he visited the north London neighbourhood where two Jewish men were injured in what police are treating as a suspected terror attack.<\/p>\n
\nCharles visited a Jewish Care charity centre on Golders Green Road to meet Shloime Rand, 34, and Moshe Ben Baila, 76, who is also known as Norman Shine, alongside Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis and Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley, 60. <\/p>\n
\nThe attack took place on 29 April and remains under investigation by counter-terror police. <\/p>\n
\nThe King also met members of the volunteer Jewish neighbourhood watch group Shomrim, who responded to the incident, and later greeted members of the public gathered outside local businesses and community buildings in the area.<\/p>\n
\nSpeaking after meeting the King, Norman described the encounter as deeply moving. <\/p>\n
\nHe said: \u201c(Charles) was very concerned.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nNorman added: \u201cThe most inspiring thing was that he didn\u2019t let go of my hand, I mean it was amazing, he is the King but I felt a genuine warmth and concern.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nHe continued: \u201cWe feel we have a genuine friend in the King.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nChief Rabbi Ephraim told Charles during the visit the Jewish community \u201cappreciate it enormously\u201d the monarch had come to Golders Green in person to show support following the attack.<\/p>\n
\nThe visit comes amid continuing national concern over rising antisemitic incidents since the outbreak of the Israel-Gaza conflict, an issue senior royals have increasingly addressed publicly over the past year.<\/p>\n
\nCharles, who resumed a fuller public schedule earlier this year while continuing treatment for cancer, has frequently emphasised interfaith relations during his reign and has long-standing ties with Jewish charities and religious leaders. Before becoming King, Charles was known for championing dialogue between faith communities through initiatives connected to the Prince\u2019s Trust and other organisations.<\/p>\n
\nDuring Thursday\u2019s walkabout, Charles shook hands with residents lining the street and spoke with a man celebrating his 100th birthday. <\/p>\n
\nThe King said: \u201cI hope they give you a good celebration, and I hope you get a card from me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nOutside Grodz bakery, Charles was presented with a traditional challah loaf and stopped to speak with children from a local primary school. <\/p>\n
\nOne member of the public told him he was \u201calways welcome\u201d in Golders Green.<\/p>\n
\nCharles replied: \u201cIt\u2019s a dangerous world isn\u2019t it?\u201d<\/p>\n
\nWhen another resident said: \u201cWhat happened in Golders Green was horrific,\u201d the King responded: \u201cI know.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nFurther down the line of well-wishers, Charles told crowds waiting to greet him: \u201cI hope I haven\u2019t disrupted your normal activities too much.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThe alleged attacker, Essa Suleiman, 45, has been remanded in custody charged with three counts of attempted murder. Prosecutors allege Suleiman attempted to kill Ishmail Hussein at a property in Southwark before travelling to Golders Green, where the two Jewish victims were stabbed in the street. <\/p>\n
\nAuthorities have confirmed the case is being treated as a suspected terror-related incident.<\/p>\n
