  • Prince Harry made a secret visit to Ukraine, where he engaged with war victims and veterans at the Superhumans Center in Lviv.
  • The Duke of Sussex met with Ukrainian officials, including the Minister of Veterans Affairs, to discuss support for injured military personnel and civilians.
  • This visit continues Prince Harry’s long-standing commitment to supporting wounded veterans through initiatives like the Invictus Games.

[EUROPE] Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, made an unannounced visit to Ukraine on Thursday. The 40-year-old royal engaged with war victims and veterans, emphasizing his dedication to their rehabilitation and well-being.​

Visit to the Superhumans Center

During his visit, Prince Harry toured the Superhumans Center, an orthopedic clinic located in Lviv. The center offers free services, including prosthetics, reconstructive surgery, and psychological support, to military personnel and civilians injured in the ongoing conflict. Harry's firsthand observation of these services highlighted his deep concern for the challenges faced by those affected by the war. ​

Engagement with Ukrainian Officials

Beyond his visit to the clinic, Prince Harry met with Natalia Kalmykova, Ukraine's Minister of Veterans Affairs. This meeting underscored his intent to understand and support the Ukrainian government's efforts in addressing the needs of veterans and war-affected individuals. ​

Background on Prince Harry's Advocacy

Prince Harry's dedication to supporting wounded veterans is well-documented. Serving a decade in the British Army, including two tours in Afghanistan, he founded the Invictus Games in 2014. The international sporting event provides wounded, injured, and sick service personnel and veterans with a platform to showcase their resilience and athleticism. ​

Royal Family's Continued Support for Ukraine

Prince Harry's visit aligns with the royal family's ongoing support for Ukraine amidst the conflict. His aunt, Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, became the first British royal to visit Ukraine since Russia's 2022 invasion, demonstrating the family's solidarity with the Ukrainian people.

Recent Royal Engagements

In recent months, Prince Harry has continued his advocacy work. At the opening of the Invictus Games 2025, he honored Ukrainian heroes, acknowledging their courage and resilience. The Ukrainian team, with a record 35 participants, was the largest delegation in the history of the event.

Prince Harry's surprise visit to Ukraine serves as a poignant reminder of the ongoing challenges faced by war-affected individuals. His actions not only provide tangible support but also draw international attention to the resilience and needs of those impacted by conflict. As global citizens, it is imperative to continue advocating for and supporting initiatives that promote healing and rehabilitation for victims of war.
