Discreetly, a number of royals vowed to “do their bit” and reached out after becoming deeply moved by the plight of the Ukrainian people.
They are now providing accommodation to a number of families forced to flee their homeland.
Sources confirm members of the Royal Family have helped house refugees, but the Daily Express was told that there is a “firm wish” for no publicity with royals wanting to keep their contribution private.
Members of the Royal Family have also made extensive cash donations and publicly supported charity appeals. They joined politicians, business leaders and thousands of others offering to house some of the six million Ukrainians who have fled Russian invaders in the most serious conflict in Europe since the Second World War. Almost 54,000 have arrived in the UK under Government schemes.
Royals are working on projects behind the scenes. Buckingham Palace, which had said the Royal Household was looking at practical help, declined to elaborate. A spokesman said: “We are assisting in a number of ways.”
The help comes after donations by the Queen, Prince Charles, the Duchess of Cornwall and by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to the Ukraine Appeal run by the Disasters Emergency Committee.
