A woman who fled the Nazis has said the Prince of Wales told her her family's ordeal was like the actions of Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
Marienne Ferguson was speaking after she met Prince Charles during a visit to an immigration museum in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where she is a volunteer.
According to Ms Ferguson, "He made the remark that now Putin is doing some of the same things that Hitler was doing."
Clarence House said it would not comment on a private conversation.
The prince is due to meet the Russian president for D-Day anniversary celebrations in France next month.
On Monday, Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall visited Pier 21, Canada's national immigration museum, during their four-day tour of Canada.
The prince chatted to Ms Ferguson, who left Poland for Canada just prior to the Nazi occupation, and some of whose family died in concentration camps.
"He [Charles] asked when I came to Canada, I told him 1939," said Ms Ferguson.
"He made the remark that now Putin is doing some of the same things that Hitler was doing.
"I agreed - you know, he is taking countries the same as Hitler did."
BBC Royal correspondent Peter Hunt commented: "This was an unplanned foray into a vexed international issue.
"Charles's supporters will argue his views are in tune with those who've been appalled by the Russian President's actions in Ukraine. His critics believe an unelected future head of state should be seen and not heard."
The Russian president has been widely condemned since he annexed Crimea from Ukraine in March.
Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made the same comparison between Mr Putin and Hitler in March, when Russia began issuing passports to Ukrainian citizens.
"Now if this sounds familiar, it's what Hitler did back in the '30s," she said.

據(jù)BBC網(wǎng)站5月21日報道,一名在納粹時期幸免于難的婦女說,查爾斯王子告訴她,如今俄羅斯領(lǐng)導人普京的行動堪比她家族經(jīng)受的磨難。
瑪瑞安·弗格森(Marienne Ferguson)在位于哈利法克斯(Halifax)的加拿大移民博物館做志愿者。恰逢查爾斯王子來博物館參觀,弗格森見到了查爾斯并和他有所交流。
據(jù)弗格森女士說:“查爾斯王子深知普京當下的舉動和希特勒無異,所以才會說出這番話?!?/p>
克拉倫斯宮的發(fā)言人稱,不會對王子的私下談話做出任何評論。
下周,查爾斯將去法國參加諾曼底戰(zhàn)役紀念日的慶?;顒?,屆時,他將與普京見面。
5月19日,查爾斯王子及其夫人開始了為期四天的加拿大之行,當天,他們參觀了加拿大移民博物館。
查爾斯王子和弗格森女士進行了交談。 在德國占領(lǐng)波蘭前夕,弗格森女士來到了加拿大,她的一些家人死于納粹集中營。
“他(查爾斯王子)問我何時來到加拿大,我告訴他是1939年?!?弗格森女士說。
“他說普京當下的做法與某些希特勒的行為毫無差別?!?/p>
“我同意這一點,眾所周知,普京侵占其他國家領(lǐng)土,這一點和希特勒相同?!?/p>
BBC皇室報道記者皮特·亨特(Peter Hunt)對此發(fā)表評論稱:“這是查爾斯王子對有爭議的國際事務隨興而起的介入?!?/p>
“支持者認為,查爾斯王子和那些被普京在烏克蘭的舉動震驚到的人們的看法一致。而反對者認為,一個未經(jīng)選舉的國家未來領(lǐng)導人應該只出現(xiàn)在公眾視野中,而不是深陷公眾輿論里。
自從今年三月俄羅斯吞并烏克蘭后,俄總統(tǒng)普京就一直飽受非議。
今年三月,當俄羅斯開始對烏克蘭公民發(fā)布簽證時,前美國國務卿希拉里·克林頓也同樣把普京和希特拉相提并論。
“如果感到似曾相識,那就對了。因為這正是二十世紀三十年代希特勒的舉動?!毕@镎f。
