Prince Harry made an unscheduled trip to Ukraine where he met with injured war victims at a rehabilitation clinic, it has been confirmed.
The ex Royal visited the Superhumans Center, an orthopaedic clinic in Lviv treating and and rehabilitating wounded military personnel and civilians. He was joined by a contingent from the Invictus Games Foundation, including four veterans who have been through similar rehab experiences as those they met in Ukraine. The centre helps provides prosthetics, reconstructive surgery and psychological help free of charge for those injured in the line of protecting their country from evil Vladimir Putin’s war machine.
His visit was kept secret until after he safely had left the area of Ukraine, which has frequently been targeted with Russian missiles since the outbreak of war. Harry is the second member of the royal family to visit Ukraine.
His aunt, Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, became the first British royal to travel to the country since Russia’s 2022 invasion when she made an unannounced visit to Kyiv last year.
The royal family has been outspoken in their support for Ukraine. King Charles warmly greeted President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a show of support at his estate on the North Sea coast two days after his explosive meeting with President Donald Trump at the White House.
Harry’s older brother, Prince William, met with Ukrainian refugees during a two day visit to Estonia last month.
