A royal commentator has claimed that The Queen has made a “rare” break from royal protocol to show her support to Ukraine.

Royally Us presenter Christina Garibaldi noted the Queen made a “generous donation” to a charity providing aid to civilians caught in the war, despite members of the family traditionally maintaining a clear distance from issues that could be considered political.

Ms Garibaldi said: “Speaking of Ukraine, she actually made a rare donation to support Ukrainian refugees.

“She has publicly commented on the Russian invasion against Ukraine but the UK charity Disasters Emergency Committee announced Her Majesty contributed a ‘generous fund.’

“They wrote on Twitter, ‘many thanks to Her Majesty The Queen for continuing to support the Disasters Emergency Committee and for making a generous donation to the DEC Ukraine humanitarian appeal.’

“The Royal Family tend not to talk about politics but this was definitely a way for her to lend her support and to say what side she’s on.”
