‘You couldn’t be more welcome,’ Prince William tells Afghan refugeesLONDON: Prince William has told Afghan refugees who recently arrived in Britain that they were welcome in the country and praised their bravery after risking their lives working alongside British forces in Afghanistan. The prince visited families housed in a hotel for refugees evacuated from Kabul this year. He described “horrific” scenes with thousands of people hurtling toward the runways, leaving the planes unable to land. Britain evacuated around 7,000 people from Afghanistan when the country fell to the Taliban in August and September this year. The government has pledged to continue to bring those who worked alongside British or NATO forces during the 20-year occupation into the UK from Afghanistan.
