As so many people around the world wonder how to help the people of Ukraine following the Russian military invasion, many members of the Royal Family have condemned their actions as this humanitarian crisis intensifies. Prince Harry and Meghan issued a message to the people of Ukraine as the first royals to speak out amid the crisis.
Since then, Prince William and Kate have shared a statement declaring they “stand with” President Zelenskyy and Ukraine’s people as they “bravely fight” for the country’s future. Whilst Prince Charles condemned Russia’s invasion in a rare political statement.
Now Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla have shown their support for the Ukrainian community at this terrible time. The couple set an “important sign” during their recent outing to London’s Ukraine Catholic Cathedral of the Holy Family on March 2nd.

Sharing a video and multiple photos of their visit with fans on their Clarence House official accounts, the future King and Queen Consort were joined by Ukrainian Ambassador Vadym Prystaiko. Together they lit candles at the altar inside the Cathedral and laid sunflowers, the national flower of Ukraine, upon it and their huge emotion was clear.
During their visit, Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall also met with guests including leaders within the Ukrainian community and volunteers who’re helping the humanitarian effort.
Alongside the video and pictures released from the day, the Prince of Wales issued a new poignant message, declaring, “Our thoughts and prayers, however inadequate they may be, are with all of you at this most critical of times.”
