Prince William has described his shock at seeing first hand the devastation caused by bushfires in Australia. As part of a three-day tour of the country, he met people affected by the fires outside Melbourne and said the power of the flames was "terrifying". One of those he met, Gabrielle Denky, said: "He was devastated and saddened when we told him what happened to us."
