People applauded the move on social media in the replies of DEC’s tweet. One Twitter user wrote, “Sending prayers to Ukraine. Thanks Her Majesty.” Another added, “A wonderful gesture that gives people hope.”

The Queen, and by extension the royal family, has made it a priority to stay politically neutral. However, in February, Prince William and Kate Middleton shared a statement supporting Ukraine, tweeting from the Kensington Royal account, “In October 2020 we had the privilege to meet President Zelenskyy and the First Lady to learn of their hope and optimism for Ukraine’s future. Today we stand with the President and all of Ukraine’s people as they bravely fight for that future.”

The Queen recently made headlines for her public message on the evening of her Platinum Jubilee, in which she declared that upon her passing, her daughter-in-law, Camilla, will receive the Queen Consort title.

“When, in the fullness of time, my son Charles becomes King, I know you will give him and his wife Camilla the same support you have given me; and it is my sincere wish that, when the time comes, Camilla will be known as Queen Consort as she continues her own loyal service,” the Queen, who has reigned since 1952, wrote at the time.
