The Duke of Sussex made a secret trip to Ukraine this week after appearing in London for two days of court hearings regarding his security rights in the UK. Prince Harry, 40, reportedly flew from the UK to Ukraine on Thursday as part of his role as founder of the Invictus Games Foundation, accompanied by a group including four veterans who had undergone rehabilitation experiences.
During his visit to the war-hit country, the duke visited the Superhumans charity in the western Ukrainian city of Lviv. The charity supports the recovery and rehabilitation of wounded, injured and sick service personnel and veterans. Harry met with war victims and medical professionals, as well as Ukraine's Minister of Veterans Affairs, Natalia Kalmykova.
Rob Owen, chief executive of the Invictus Games Foundation, issued a statement saying: "Ukraine had been a vital part of the foundation since participating in the Invictus Games Toronto 2017. This visit to the Superhumans charity in Ukraine underscores the Invictus Games Foundation's broader commitment to supporting recovery and rehabilitation for wounded injured and sick service personnel and veterans, even in the most challenging environments."
It is believed the father-of-two was in Ukraine for just one day, with his visit only announced once he had left the country due to security concerns. The private visit came about after an invitation was made by Olga Rudneva, CEO of Superhumans, during the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025.
Prince Harry is now expected to return home to Montecito after almost a week away from his wife Meghan Markle and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
