The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have signed a book of condolence at the French embassy in London, paying respect to the victims of the Paris attacks.
The couple's move is being seen as a show of solidarity with the French people by Britain's royal family.
The message read: "To all the victims who have died and were injured in the heartless attacks in Paris, and to all the people in France: Nos plus sincère condoléances," and was signed by the couple.
Next week, the Duke will join British Prime Minister David Cameron to watch a friendly soccer match between England and France at London's Wembley Stadium.
Before the kickoff, fans will reportedly be encouraged to sing the French national anthem with lyrics being displayed inside the stadium.
