King Charles has received love and praises for his support of refugees and his efforts to make the monarchy more inclusive.
Last week, the monarch hosted a private event at Buckingham Palace where he met with refugees from countries like Ukraine, Syria, Afghanistan, and Ethiopia who are now being mentored by members of the Royal Household.
According to The Express, the event was part of Charles’ ongoing work to help people in need like he has done for over a million young people through the King’s Trust.
Writing about it for the publication, royal expert Rebecca Russell revealed how one of the Syrian refugees, Emad Raad, who met the King, said it was an honour meeting the monarch.
“It’s all thanks to the King's leadership in supporting refugee talent to contribute back to society,” Russel revealed, citing Raad.
"I never thought I would have the honour to meet him in person and to see his support for refugee employment. It was an amazing experience,” she added.
“What mentoring does is provide something refugees often lack – someone who understands the system, believes in your potential, and helps you navigate professional pathways.
"When you invest in one refugee through mentorship, you're not just changing one life – you're enabling someone like me to go on and help hundreds of other refugees integrate into the local community, find meaningful employment, and contribute back to British society.”
