Prince William and Princess Catherine made an emotional visit to Southport on September 23, 2025, wearing matching bracelets to honor the memory of three young girls who lost their lives in a tragic incident the previous year. The bracelets symbolized support for Bebe’s Hive, a grief support project founded by one of the victims’ mothers.
During their visit, the couple met with families at two local schools and attended the opening of a playground dedicated to the children. Their presence brought comfort to the community still healing from the tragedy.
The attacker, Axel Rudakubana, was sentenced to life in prison earlier this year. His actions deeply shook the town, making the royal visit a powerful symbol of resilience and solidarity.
Catherine and William’s subtle matching gesture, alongside their heartfelt interactions, highlighted their ongoing commitment to supporting families and promoting healing in Southport.
