PRINCE OF WALES IN WARSAW

During a brief visit to the Polish capital, the British heir to the throne met with Warsaw ' s Mayor and visited a residence center for Ukrainian refugees.

During his two-day visit to Poland, after meeting with soldiers in Rzeszów, Prince William flew to Warsaw on March 22, where he and Mayor Rafał Trzaskowski visited a center for refugees on Wołoska Street. This place currently houses several hundred people.

“It was a very good, positive meeting. Prince William spent an hour at the center. He wanted to learn from the city, NGOs and, above all, from the refugees themselves, how they are doing and what their needs are,” Trzaskow- ski said. “We talked about specifics. About the need for a long-term strategy and further support from international organizations. The prince can support our demand, and paying attention to our problems and supporting our demands is certainly of no small importance,” the Mayor assessed.

The Prince of Wales is another representative of the United Kingdom who met with Ukrainian refugees in Poland. The Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson also visited Warsaw in March 2022.
