The Prince of Wales has warned that the world is in danger of "forgetting the lessons of the past" as he risked being accused of involving himself in the row over Donald Trump's immigration ban.

Speaking at a fundraiser for a Jewish charity that helps Syrian refugees, he said it was vital to "reach across the boundaries of faith and community... particularly at a time when the horrific lessons of the last War seem to be in increasing danger of being forgotten".

The Prince shared a platform with the Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis, who criticised the US President for his "totally unacceptable" travel ban on seven mainly Muslim countries.
