Prince Charles breaks down in tears at refugee meeting: ‘I can’t take it’

Prince Charles
When meeting refugees, he cannot hold back his tears

Prince Charles, 74, has commented several times on the Ukraine war in recent days. An exceptional situation for the British royal family, which is otherwise politically neutral. But at the same time an important sign. On Wednesday, Duchess Camilla’s husband, 74, took the time to speak to refugees from around the world – including people from Ukraine – and hear their stories.

Prince Charles visited refugee center

The heir to the British throne met Andriy Kopylash and his daughter Veronika at St. Luke’s Church. As reported by “Express”, the Ukrainian father described how he feared for his daughter’s life. While Mr Kopylash was already in the UK, his daughter was still stuck in Kyiv. The night before the invasion, Veronika managed to get the last flight to Italy and from there travel on to England. “He was very open and had tears in his eyes,” Andriy Kopylash later summarized Prince Charles’ reaction during their conversation.

Prince Charles then sought conversation with people who still have relatives in the war zones and who fear for their loved ones every day. The 74-year-old seemed very upset during the visit and was emotional. During a conversation with a mother who also had to leave people behind in her home country, Charles could no longer hide his tears. “I just can’t take it. Such a total tragedy,” the royal said to the fugitive.

Aid organization Holy Trinity Brompton offers support to the people

The people Charles spoke to also told him about the service program that Holy Trinity Brompton Church has launched. On the one hand, language courses are offered to the refugees so that they can get along better in England. On the other hand, the people receive medical care and support from the church.
