Prince William took a moment during a gala ball to express grief over the Hindu temple fire that left more than 100 dead in south India, ABC News reported on Monday.
The Duke of Cambridge was speaking at a gala ball held at Mumbai's iconic Taj Palace Hotel, after he and his wife, Catherine, arrived for a weeklong visit to the region.
Press Trust of India quotes William as saying to the guests: "Catherine and I would like to offer our condolences to all those affected by the terrible fire at the temple in Kollam. I know all of you in this room will join us in the sentiments."
The fire, started by a fireworks display, engulfed the Puttingal temple complex early Sunday.
More than 100 people were killed and hundreds were injured.
