Prince William Strong Antisemitism Stance Amid Royal Turmoil
During his visit to a London synagogue, Prince William denounced antisemitism. This marked his first appearance following an unexpected withdrawal from a royal event earlier in the week.
At the Western Marble Arch Synagogue, he learned about the impact of hatred against Jewish students across the U.K. Additionally, he spent time with Renee Salt, a 94-year-old Holocaust survivor. William expressed deep concern about the rising prevalence of antisemitism.
Prince William also recently condemned the ongoing conflict in Gaza, urging for a swift end. He highlighted the human toll of the conflict and called for increased humanitarian assistance to Gaza. Antisemitic abuse in Britain has surged since Hamas’ attack on Israel on October 7, triggering Israel’s invasion of Gaza.
During a visit to Western Marble Arch Synagogue in London today, Prince William told the attendees:

William’s absence from a memorial service for his godfather, the late King Constantine of Greece, drew significant media attention. This was compounded by ongoing health issues faced by his father, King Charles III, and his wife. Palace officials stated that William withdrew from the service due to a “personal matter” and declined to provide further details.
On January 17, Kensington Palace announced that Princess Catherine had undergone planned abdominal surgery at the London Clinic. The unexpected announcement was followed by news that King Charles III, aged 75, would undergo treatment for an enlarged prostate. This marked a period of health challenges for two prominent members of the British royal family.
Despite these challenges, King Charles has resumed some official engagements, including meetings with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
However, rumors concerning the Princess of Wales began to resurface. The lack of information surrounding her medical procedure has fueled speculation, concern, and various conspiracy theories. Details about her diagnosis were not disclosed, but reassurances were given that her condition was “not cancerous” and that the surgery was successful.
