Wed Apr 16 08:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Prince Harry Makes Secret Visit to Ukrainian Rehabilitation Center

**LVIV, Ukraine** – Prince Harry made a surprise visit to Lviv, Ukraine on Thursday, touring a rehabilitation center for soldiers and civilians injured in the ongoing war with Russia. The visit, confirmed by his office after his departure, saw the Prince meeting with patients, staff, and Ukraine’s Minister of Veterans Affairs, Natalia Kalmykova, at the Superhumans Center. The center provides free reconstructive surgery, prosthetics, and psychological counseling to war victims.

Harry’s trip, which included speaking with an injured child and limb-loss amputees, aligns with his longstanding commitment to supporting war veterans. He founded the Invictus Games, a sporting event for injured servicemen and women, in 2014. He was accompanied by a delegation from the Invictus Games Foundation. The visit was arranged at the invitation of Olga Rudneva, the center’s chief executive.

The timing of the visit coincided with King Charles III’s state visit to Italy, prompting some commentary about potential optics. However, Buckingham Palace has not issued a statement. Prince Harry’s visit adds to the long list of high-profile individuals – including presidents, prime ministers, and celebrities – who have traveled to Ukraine to show solidarity with the nation. The unannounced nature of the visit reflects the ongoing security risks in Lviv, which remains a potential target for Russian missiles.
