Kate Middletonis continuing to support Ukrainians.
On Thursday, the Princess of Wales visited the Reading Ukrainian Community Centre, where she met displaced Ukrainian families and heard about the support the Centre is providing to those arriving in the U.K. as a result of the conflict in Ukraine.
Combining her interest in both art and the wellbeing of young people, Kate joined children taking part in an art session. Delivered on a monthly basis, the workshops provide a way for the children to have fun, build friendships and express their emotions and experiences through a creative outlet.
