The new Prince of Wales is willing to stand up to his opponents

Prince William and LGBTQ+-friendly friendly restaurant Butero Bistro, a warsaw facility for women and children in the midst of the humanitarian crisis

While Prince William was here to emphasize Poland’s support of Ukraine, photographs emerged overnight of the prince grabbing dinner at Butero Bistro, an LGBTQ+-friendly eatery in Warsaw, according to the Daily Mail. A patron shared their run in with the royal on social media and said William’s decision to eat there was valuable since the Polish government cracked down on the LGBTQ+ community.

The Prince of Wales first visited the 3rd Brigade Territorial Defense Force base in Rzeszów, where he met Polish Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak and viewed a display of military equipment.

The royal met with members of the British military to learn more about how they collaborated with their Polish counterparts in support of Ukraine.

The King said that the world had watched in horror at all the unnecessary suffering inflicted upon Ukrainians. I can only hope the solidarity from all over the world will bring not only practical aid, but also strength from the fact that we all stand together.

British and Polish military personnel were surprised by the British heir to the throne, thanking them for keeping everyone safe and watching what’s going on.

This afternoon, I visited Rzeszw to hear their stories and recognize their duty. I was struck by their passion as well as their shared determination to defend our shared freedoms,” William added.

The facility is opening to women and children who have recently arrived in the country and are not yetintegrated into local communities, which is described by the Palace as being at the frontline of the humanitarian crisis.

The prince went to an office block that was turned into a hostel for Ukrainians who had been displaced by the conflict. Around 300 women and children are provided lodgings at the facility. The former office building-turned-accommodation center is operated by the City of Warsaw and opened shortly after Russian forces invaded Ukraine.

Walking around Warsaw, conversations in Ukrainian are just as common as those in Polish. According to Polish border officials, the country has seen more than 9 million people travel across the border since Russia’s unprovoked invasion last February. Since then, the government estimates 1.5 million people have resettled here.

Two meals a day are provided to Ukrainian refugees, with other resources available, such as Polish language classes, employment and psychological support.

He’ll round out the whistlestop visit by heading over to a local food hall, where he will meet young Ukrainians who will share their experiences of resettling in Poland after being displaced by the war. They will discuss how they found employment in Warsaw after restarting their studies. The prince will also speak with host families who have helped accommodate Ukrainian refugees and express his gratitude to them and their families for opening their homes and for their compassion.

He also met with volunteers who have been helping people displaced by the conflict to find out how they have been managing and distributing donations from the community, which are dispensed through a “free shop.”

Everyone scrambled to make it happen. The trip included a visit to a top- secret military base in the southeast which is just a few hours away from the Ukrainian border, and thus was not going to allow the press to go for security reasons.

Everyone back home supports you because you’re doing a really important job in defending our freedom.

Several refugees talked to William about how to escape their homeland and seek refuge in Poland. The children were playing a doubles ping pong game with him.

With their own encounters of war still fresh in the nation’s collective memory, Poland has warmly welcomed their neighbors, fully integrating them into society with free access to public services like healthcare and education. Many families have taken in people who were displaced by the invasion.
