The Prince of Wales has dedicated his Easter message to the millions of refugees who are “wounded by the past, fearful of the future”.
The Prince of Wales has remembered the millions of displaced people "wounded by the past, fearful of the future" in his Easter message.Charles highlighted their plight as thousands of Ukrainians continue to seek sanctuary from fighting in their homeland, following in the footsteps of millions of refugees who have already fled the Russian invasion.
Charles also said it was an "enormous privilege" to perform the ancient ceremony of distributing Maundy money to community stalwarts at Thursday's Royal Maundy service, on behalf of the Queen who was unable to attend.
"Over the past years, I have found myself heartbroken at the sufferings of the innocent victims of conflict, or persecution, some of whom I have met and who have told me stories of unutterable tragedy as they have been forced to flee their country and seek shelter far from home. Charles and wife Camilla showed their solidarity with Ukraine by lighting a candle for the nation and sympathising with its London community in March, during a visit to the Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral in central London.
