Britain’s Prince Harry made an unannounced visit to Ukraine this week, meeting victims of the war and spotlighting support for wounded veterans in Lviv, his spokesperson confirmed on Thursday.
The Duke of Sussex, a former British Army captain who served two tours in Afghanistan, visited the Superhumans Center — a state-of-the-art orthopedic and rehabilitation clinic treating both military personnel and civilians injured in the conflict with Russia.
Harry was joined by representatives of the Invictus Games Foundation, the organisation he founded in 2014 to support wounded and injured service members through sport. The visit included meetings with Ukrainian veterans, medical teams, and patients undergoing treatment at the centre.
The prince also sat down with Ukraine’s Minister of Veterans Affairs Natalia Kalmykova to discuss ongoing support for those affected by the war.
Harry, who now resides in California with his wife Meghan and their two children, had been in London earlier this week for a court hearing related to his personal security arrangements in the UK. He stepped back from royal duties in 2020 but has maintained his commitment to veterans’ causes.
The Lviv visit, while private, reflects Harry’s ongoing efforts to connect with and advocate for veterans in conflict zones worldwide.
