The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh say they are “deeply saddened by the tragic loss of life” following the Tehran plane crash that killed everyone on board, including 57 Canadians.
“My wife and I are utterly horrified by the appalling disaster in Iran in which so many Canadian citizens lost their lives so tragically,” Prince Charles wrote to the Governor General.
The statements from the Royal Family come after Iran admitted that it mistakenly shot down the Ukrainian passenger jet minutes after it took off from Tehran.
