Royal editor Chris Ship made the announcement on Twitter of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s arrival to the High Commission and posted a photo of the message signed by both Harry and Meghan.

“Our deepest condolences,” the couple wrote. “We are with you.”

The pair signed their names above the phrase “Arohanui,” meaning “much love” in Maori.

Prince Harry and Meghan intended to sign the book on behalf of the entire royal family, Ship reports.

As they arrived, the couple was greeted with a hongi (traditional nose rub) by the High Commissioner Sir Jerry Mateparae and Deputy High Commissioner David Evans.

With flowers in hand, Harry and Meghan entered the building after placing the bouquets on the ground near the door with a collection of others.
