Prince William made a surprise trip to Poland to thank the people for their 'humanity and hospitality' during the crisis in neighboring Ukraine. 'He wanted to look into the eyes of the Polish people and say thank you for everything they have done.'
In the capital city of Warsaw, the Prince of Wales focused on the tragedy of those displaced by the conflict at an accommodation center in an office block, where a charity gives people a room and a bed and provides younger people with education support. There is also a free shop where they can get clothes and hygiene and sanitary products.
He will also see how refugees who have been in Poland for about a year, since the start of the crisis, are being supported and have settled in the country. He will visit a food hall in Warsaw, where he'll chat with groups of young Ukrainians who have found employment or are continuing their studies in Poland.Prince William

The royal was already doing this before his grandmotherdied in September, but it has taken on a greater significance now that he is first in line to the throne.
"This is a continuation of the evolution of his role as a global statesperson," his spokesman adds. "We talk often about him using his global platform for the good of the environment, via Earthshot. But this is the first opportunity for him to take a visit of this kind as Prince of Wales and, given that it is one of the biggest political issues facing every country on the planet, this is a demonstration of him growing as a statesmanlike figure.
