Quickly and unbureaucratically, Queen Elizabeth II pulled out her checkbook and made an extremely “generous” donation for the people of Ukraine.
LONDON — Queen Elizabeth II, 95, has seemingly unfussed about her support for Ukraine. The Disasters Emergency Committee has now announced in a thank you tweet that the 95-year-old monarch had made a “generous” donation to humane aid amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The amount of the donation was not mentioned.*
“Thank you to Her Majesty The Queen for your continued support of the Disasters Emergency Committee and for your generous donation to the DEC Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal,” the British charity said on Twitter.
Great Britain, with Boris Johnson (57) at the helm, had further tightened sanctions against Russia – including against Russian oligarchs. However, political interference by the royals is not provided for in the constitutional monarchy, so statements and donations are all the more important. But while many royals left it at the statement, Queen Elizabeth II* apparently took action right away. The monarch had also canceled an important reception because of the smoldering Ukraine conflict*.
In an impromptu speech, Prince Charles* (73) was deeply impressed by the meeting: “I have to say that my wife and I were deeply moved by everything we heard during our visit today, especially by the extraordinary courage , the generosity and bravery of the Ukrainian community in the face of such terrible aggression”. Your thoughts and prayers, insufficient as they may be, are with the people who are under attack at this extremely difficult time. The day before, the crown prince had condemned the Russian attack*.
Prince William* (39) and Duchess Kate* (40) showed the flag* and spoke to Ukraine in a statement that they shared their support* on Saturday on their Twitter account. You stand with the President and the Ukrainian people. Prince Harry (37) and Duchess Meghan (40) have previously responded with their statement on their Archewell Foundation* website. * 24royal.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA
