“She loves these friendship bracelets. Thank you very much, I like the Ukrainian colours. Thank you, that’s very kind.”

William has previously worn bracelets created by nine-year-old Princess Charlotte. The tween became particularly fond of the trinkets along with the rest of the world, during Taylor Swift’s Era’s tour.

Charlotte met with Swift when she attended the London concert with her father and brother Prince George, 11.

William acknowledge the difficulties the Ukrainian students have faced during his visit to the school.

”It’s been a very difficult few years for you guys. Everyone sees that. What I love is (that) the Ukrainian resilience is everywhere,” The Mirror reports the royal as saying.

“You all are very smiley and very strong and very spiritual people. And honestly, that comes across everywhere,” he said.

“Even the Ukrainians I’ve met in the UK are like that – very resilient and very strong about things. You have a very good spirit, very good soul, it’s very important. Even if your language is very hard to learn. I need to take some of these big words with me to look at, learn my languages better,” he added.
