The Carter Center had confirmed the Nobel Peace Prize winner’s death in a release shared Sunday afternoon with Fox News Digital.
“It was with great sadness that I learned of the death of former President Carter,” the king wrote. “He was a committed public servant, and devoted his life to promoting peace and human rights.
“His dedication and humility served as an inspiration to many, and I remember with great fondness his visit to the United Kingdom in 1977.”

King Charles added, “My thoughts and prayers are with President Carter’s family and the American people at this time.”
Carter passed away at his home in Georgia surrounded by his family.
“My father was a hero, not only to me but to everyone who believes in peace, human rights, and unselfish love,” said Chip Carter, the former president’s son.
“My brothers, sister, and I shared him with the rest of the world through these common beliefs. The world is our family because of the way he brought people together, and we thank you for honoring his memory by continuing to live these shared beliefs.”
