Prince Harry visited Ukraine on Thursday, a spokesperson said Thursday, becoming the second British royal to travel to the country since Russia’s invasion in February 2022.<\/p>\n
The 40-year-old prince spent time with war casualties in Lviv in western Ukraine, the spokesperson told AFP.<\/p>\n
The trip was only announced after Harry, a former British Army captain, had left the conflict-torn nation.<\/p>\n
King Charles III’s younger son visited the Superhumans Center, an orthopaedic clinic that treats and helps rehabilitate wounded military personnel and civilians.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He was accompanied by members of his Invictus Games Foundation, a multi-sport event he founded in 2014 for injured serving and former soldiers.<\/p>\n
Harry also met Ukraine’s minister of veterans affairs Natalia Kalmykova.<\/p>\n
He made the trip to Lviv after sitting in a London court on Tuesday and Wednesday for his appeal against a government decision to scale back his police protection when he visits Britain.<\/p>\n
The downgrade came after Harry and his wife Meghan Markle quit frontline royal duties in 2020 and moved to the United States. The prince wants the security reinstated.<\/p>\n
His aunt, Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh — who is married to Charles’s youngest brother, Prince Edward — visited Kyiv in April last year.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Last month, Charles welcomed Volodymyr Zelensky to his country estate at Sandringham in eastern England just days after the Ukrainian president received a White House dressing down by US President Donald Trump and Vice-President JD Vance.<\/p>\n
