The Duke of Sussex was invited by the Superhumans Center, which specializes in patients receiving free prosthetics, surgery, and psychological support, and arrived accompanied by a delegation from the Invictus Games.
When he left the British Royal Family, Prince Harry made the point that “public service is not exclusive to royalty” and he’s willing to prove it, despite the obstacles that come his way. While Meghan has opted for a professional approach focused on her business career, Harry is returning to what always made him happy: having a mission and contributing to a cause. So, after two days in London to present the appeals in his case against the British government to secure safety for his family in the United Kingdom, he flew on Thursday to the Ukrainian city of Lviv to visit a hospital that provides free care to war victims .
Harry is greeted upon his arrival at the Superhumans Center by its director Olga Rudniev, who personally invited the prince after seeing during the last edition of the Invictus Games the special attention he paid to the Ukrainian delegation that participated.
Apparently, it was the director of the Superhumans center herself, Olga Rudneva, who invited Prince Harry to make this visit last year, during the celebration of the Invictus Games in Vancouver-Whistle , when she was also able to give him a bracelet that reads “Whoever saves a vine saves the world”, and which is one of those that the Duke of Sussex regularly wears. The purpose of the hospital, which admires the work of the Invictus Games, was for the Duke of Sussex to see firsthand the support and rehabilitation services that are provided free of charge at the Ukrainian hospital, a country that has been going through an armed conflict since Russia began a large-scale invasion in February 2022.
Harry, who served 10 years in the British Army, was accompanied by a contingent from the Invictus Games Foundation, which included four veterans with similar rehabilitation experiences. He was greeted by the hospital’s founders, who gave him a warm welcome and showed him a project that the son of King Charles III said he was amazed by. “To come to the Superhumans Centre and see the incredible rehabilitation and care provided here under one roof, designed specifically for this purpose, is simply amazing ,” Prince Harry said of the project.

Prince Harry chatted with the patients, many of whom were not military personnel, witnessed a complex operation to restore hearing to a war victim , and observed the work involved in implanting prosthetics. He also expressed admiration for the psychological support work they do and assured them that this would not be his last visit to Ukraine, assuming closer collaboration between the Invictus Games, the competition the prince created in 2014 to support war veterans, and the Superhumans Center.

Stavnitser Andrey, a Ukrainian businessman, philanthropist, and one of the founders of this project, responded to the Duke of Sussex with a profound message: “All my respect to a person who can afford any job in this world and chooses to dedicate himself to supporting and encouraging wounded veterans. I believe that in a few decades, when all the wars in the world are finally over, the sign in Lviv will bear the inscription: ‘Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, was here. The true Superhuman.’”
