While chatting with students about their time at the school, he was given a woven friendship bracelet in yellow and blue, the colours of Ukraine.

Upon accepting the gift, The Mirror reports William as saying: "That's brilliant, my daughter will try and probably poach it off me later."

"She loves these friendship bracelets. Thank you very much, I like the Ukrainian colours. Thank you, that's very kind."

William has previously worn bracelets created by nine-year-old Princess Charlotte.

The tween became particularly fond of the trinkets along with the rest of the world, during Taylor Swift's Era's tour.

Charlotte met with Swift when she attended the London concert with her father and brother Prince George, 11.

William acknowledge the difficulties the Ukrainian students have faced during his visit to the school.

"It's been a very difficult few years for you guys. Everyone sees that. What I love is (that) the Ukrainian resilience is everywhere," The Mirror reports the royal as saying.

"You all are very smiley and very strong and very spiritual people. And honestly, that comes across everywhere," he said.

"Even the Ukrainians I've met in the UK are like that – very resilient and very strong about things. You have a very good spirit, very good soul, it's very important. Even if your language is very hard to learn. I need to take some of these big words with me to look at, learn my languages better," he added.

Kensington Palace announced Prince William's solo trip to Estonia, explaining it's importance.

"This will be an important meeting for the prince to highlight the strong bilateral relationship between the United Kingdom and Estonia," they said in a statement.

"The meeting also allows His Royal Highness the opportunity to applaud Estonia's strong support for Ukraine since the conflict with Russia," it continued.
