”Our thoughts and prayers are with all the people and communities who are affected by this devastating event.

”We send our deepest condolences to the families and friends of those who have tragically lost their lives, and the brave firefighters who continue to risk their own lives to save the lives of others.”

Kate Middleton and Prince William last visited Australia in 2014, with their son Prince George.

The young prince famously threw a furry bilby toy on the ground after he was presented with the gift at Taronga Zoo in April that year.

Prince William and Kate Middleton were also snapped in a now iconic photo, posing in front of Uluru.

While Kate is expected to accompany the future king on this visit, the last time the Duke of Cambridge visited Australia on his own was after the Queensland floods of 2011.

Prince William also went on a solo official visit to New Zealand last year, in the wake of the Christchurch shooting tragedy.
