Royal Family helps Ukrainian refugees find homes — including on Queen’s Balmoral estate

THE Royal Family is helping Ukrainian refugees find safe homes in Britain — including on the Queen's Balmoral estate.

The royals have opened the doors to some of the thousands of properties they own or manage across the country.

But the refugees have not been moved into palaces or with the royals because of "security implications".

A source told The Sun on Sunday: "All royal households have been involved in helping find accommodation for refugees."

Senior Buckingham Palace sources refuse to reveal where any Ukrainian refugees are housed to protect their identity and security.

The Crown Estates owns 7,936 properties and businesses in England and Wales and the royals' move comes as 50,000 Ukrainians have arrived in the UK.

Charles and Camilla , William and Kate and the Queen have all spoken out in support of Ukraine.

Buckingham Palace said: "The Royal Household is looking at a number of ways to offer practical help and support."
