Royal family reportedly 'open up their homes' to Ukrainian refugee families'

The Royal family are reportedly providing accommodation to Ukrainian families who have been forced to flee their homeland following Russia's invasion of their country.

Members of the Royal family have reportedly vowed to "do their bit" and are housing Ukrainian families. However, they are keeping their efforts a secret as they have "no wish" to receive publicity for it, the Daily Express reports. Some 53,800 Ukrainian refugees have been rehomed in the UK under visa schemes, including the government's Homes for Ukraine programme - which amounts to just over half of the number of visas granted.

Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, more than 14 million Ukrainians have been thought to have fled their homes, with a number of European countries taking in refugees varying from a few thousand to millions. More than three million Ukrainians have fled to Poland, while 700,000 have been accepted by Germany.
