Prince Harry visited war victims in Ukraine as part of his work with wounded veterans, a spokesperson says. The 40-year-old, who served in the British Army for 10 years, visited the Superhumans Center - an orthopedic clinic in Lviv that treats and rehabilitates wounded military personnel and civilians - to see the services provided in a country in the midst of war.
Free of charge for those who are in need, the center provides prosthetics, reconstructive surgery and psychological help. Following his time in the Army, Prince Harry later founded The Invictus Games in 2014.
During his previously unannounced visit earlier today, the Duke of Sussex - who has previously spoke of his support for Ukraine - was accompanied by a contingent from the Invictus Games Foundation. This included four veterans who had similar rehabilitation experiences.
The Duke, who had spent the past two days in London to attend the Court of Appeal hearing into his security arrangements in the UK, travelled straight to Ukraine from the UK.
His visit went unannounced until after he had left the country, with Harry likely travelling home to reunite with his wife and two children in California. The area that Harry - who stepped down as senior working royal in 2020 - visted has been a frequent target of Russian missiles.
Prince Harry has become the second member of the Royal Family to have visited Ukraine. The Duchess of Edinbugh - the wife of Prince Edward - became the first member of the British Royal Family to travel to the country since Russia’s 2022 invasion.
Like Harry, Sophie's visit last year came previously unannounced. Although he did not travel to Ukraine, Prince William met with Ukrainian refugees during a two day visit to Estonia last month.
