The Prince of Wales then acknowledged the different countries the refugees he addressed came from. He mentioned having visited both Afghanistan and Iran, and said that he'd "always wanted all my life to visit Syria and the Yemen."

Charles has spoken out about climate change before, calling for "immediate action" on the issue. Despite the heavy topics he addressed, the royal concluded his speech on a positive note, calling it "such a pleasure" to have been able to meet with refugees.
