Plus, the sartorial detail the Duchess dedicated to the nation. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge showed their support for Ukraine by helping at the Cultural Ukrainian Centre, helping people on the front lines of the conflict.
Catherine wore a light blue sweater tucked into black pants and both she and her husband wore Ukrainian flag pins to express their support for the nation.
The royal couple explained how their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, are dealing with the issue when speaking to the volunteers.
“Ours have been coming home asking all about it,” said William. “They are obviously talking about it with their friends at school.” Like many parents, the royal father-of-three added that he has had to “choose my words” and “carefully” explain what is happening.
While at the center, Prince William and Catherine learned about the services offered and the donations they receive, as well as giving a hand to sort donated items into bundles.
The Duchess even helped morale by thanking the volunteers with homemade brownies and granola bars from Kensington Palace’s kitchen. Her generous gesture follows the path of her sister-in-law Meghan Markle, who offered handmade banana bread to a family in Dubbo, Australia, who was suffering from drought.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are not the only royals who have voiced support for Ukraine.
Last week, Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall paid a visit to the Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral and met with Ukrainian Ambassador Bishop Kenneth Nowakowski.
The future King and Queen were presented with candles, sunflowers (the nation’s flower), and a placard with the message “Stop Putin” written on it by a child.
Camilla also moved royal watchers by hugging the Ukrainian Ambassador’s wife, Inna Prystaiko, and telling her, “We are praying for you.” She then left the cathedral in tears.
The Queen also showed her support by giving a “generous donation” to The Disasters Emergency Committee’s Ukrainian Humanitarian Appeal, which was set up to help Ukrainians (DEC).
