Message from H.R.H. the Duke of Castro Following the Recent Environmental Damage in Southern Italy

I have learned with deep concern of the serious consequences caused by Cyclone Harry, which has struck vast areas of Sicily, Calabria and Sardinia, causing extensive damage and placing communities, families and local territories under considerable strain.
At this difficult time, I wish to express my heartfelt solidarity with all the affected populations, with those who have suffered hardship, material losses and distress, and with everyone who has been forced to face emergency situations and uncertainty.
On my own behalf and on behalf of the entire Constantinian Order, I extend my profound sympathy to the affected communities, together with my sincere appreciation for the tireless efforts of the Law Enforcement Forces, Fire Brigade, Civil Protection authorities, rescue teams and volunteers who, with dedication and a strong sense of duty, are working to ensure safety, assistance and support.
Sicily, Calabria and Sardinia, lands of ancient civilisation, extraordinary beauty and strong identity, have repeatedly demonstrated throughout their history a remarkable capacity for resilience and solidarity. With the hope that the restoration and reconstruction phase may proceed in a spirit of unity and responsibility, I renew my encouragement and heartfelt support for all the communities concerned.
With sentiments of heartfelt solidarity,
Charles of Bourbon Two-Sicilies
Duke of Castro
