Kate Middleton & Prince William's 3 Kids Come Home & 'Ask All About' The War Going On In Ukraine
Though Prince William and Kate Middleton's three kids, Prince George, 8, Princess Charlotte, 6, and Prince Louis, 3, are young, they are clearly interested in what is happening in the world — especially as the war between Ukraine and Russia is still happening after two weeks of fighting.
"Ours have been coming home asking all about it," William said, according to journalist Rebecca English. "They are obviously talking about it with their friends at school."
As for how William, 39, handles everything, he said he has to "choose my words carefully to explain what is going on."
William and Kate, 40, made sure to support Ukraine on Wednesday, March 9, when they visited the Ukrainian Cultural Centre in London.
"Over the past two weeks, communities and organisations here in the UK have come together to provide vital support to Ukrainians here in Britain and across Europe. The Ukrainian Cultural Centre in London has become one of many hubs organising donations, material aid and supporting Ukrainians living locally," a message from the couple's official Instagram account read.
The message continued, "The work volunteers here are doing to ensure that help gets to where it is most needed is inspiring. So too is the incredible generosity of the British public. The Disasters Emergency Committee has already received over £132 million in donations, and continues to raise funds to support the essential humanitarian effort. Find out more via @DisastersEmergencyCommittee or check with your local charity about what they are most in need of."
When Russia first invaded Ukraine, the couple made a rare statement about the ongoing crisis.
"In October 2020 we had the privilege to meet President Zelenskyy and the First Lady to learn of their hope and optimism for Ukraine’s future. Today we stand with the President and all of Ukraine’s people as they bravely fight for that future 🇺🇦 W & C," they wrote via Twitter.
