During his visit to the Western Marble Arch Synagogue, the prince, wearing a kippah, a traditional Jewish hat, listened to complaints from Jewish students about death threats and other complaints.
Last week, William’s unusually direct intervention in the Gaza conflict – that ‘too many people have been killed’ and that Hamas should release hostages – made international headlines as the royal family traditionally avoids controversial political issues.
