Queen Mary of Denmark has written a letter to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese offering her condolences following the Bondi Junction attack.
Anthony Albanese said the Australian-born royal expressed his “solidarity and concern” over the devastating incident which left six innocent shoppers dead at the hands of Queensland man Joel Cauchi.
The Prime Minister told Kyle Sandilands and Jackie ‘O’ Henderson live on radio on Monday that he had just woken up to the Queen’s “lovely” letter.
Daily Mail Australia requested a copy of the letter, however the Prime Minister’s office rejected it as it is considered private correspondence.
Police have revealed that Cauchi suffered from mental health problems which were likely behind the horrific attack on Saturday afternoon.

On Saturday, Denmark’s Royal Palace published an unrelated message, aimed at improving mental health services for young people, on behalf of the Queen.
‘Mental depression is a great challenge among our children and young people. “15% will receive a psychiatric diagnosis before turning 18, according to the Health Board,” the Queen’s message said.

“Although mental illness can affect everyone, it can be difficult to ask for help and find the right support or treatment,” she added.
‘Today I met with Psychiatrifonden and Novo Nordisk Fonden, who have [come] together to create better help for children and young people with mental illnesses that require treatment.’
