Surprises can be hit or miss. But let’s be real—if it’s a royal surprise? Count me in. And that’s exactly what happened when Prince Harry made an unannounced visit to Ukraine.
According to the BBC, the Duke of Sussex, who spent a decade in the British Army, popped up in Lviv to visit the Superhumans Centre—a medical facility that’s been doing life-changing work for those injured in the war with Russia. The clinic offers prosthetics, reconstructive surgery and mental health support, all free of charge, to Ukrainian military personnel.
Harry didn’t go solo either—he was joined by members of the Invictus Games Foundation, the charity he launched back in 2014 to support wounded veterans through sports.

The visit comes on the heels of a more complicated chapter for the prince. Just last week, he stepped down as founder and patron of Sentebale, a charity he co-founded in 2006 with Prince Seeiso in honor of their late mothers. In a statement, Harry addressed tensions with the organization’s leadership, expressing heartbreak over what he described as “blatant lies” and voicing hope that a Charity Commission inquiry will help restore the mission they set out to achieve nearly two decades ago.
“From the inception of Sentebale nearly 20 years ago, Prince Seeiso and I have had a clear goal: to support the children and young people in Southern Africa in memory of our mothers. What has transpired over the last week has been heartbreaking to witness, especially when such blatant lies hurt those who have invested decades in this shared goal. No one suffers more than the beneficiaries of Sentebale itself,” he said in a statement, per the BBC.
“On behalf of the former trustees and patrons, we share in the relief that the Charity Commission confirmed they will be conducting a robust inquiry,” the statement continued. “We fully expect it will unveil the truth that collectively forced us to resign. We remain hopeful this will allow for the charity to be put in the right hands immediately, for the sake of the communities we serve.”
