Prince Harry has travelled to Ukraine to meet victims of the war as part of his work to help wounded veterans.

The Duke of Sussex made a surprise visit to the Superhumans Center, an orthopaedic clinic in the western city of Lviv.

The facility provides care and rehabilitation for wounded military personnel and civilians who have been affected by the ongoing conflict with Russia.

The Prince, who served two tours in Afghanistan during his 10 years in the British Army, was joined by veterans from the Invictus Games Foundation.

He also met medical professionals and patients as well as Ukraine's minister of veterans affairs, Natalia Kalmykova.

Prince Harry becomes the second royal to visit the country since Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022.

The Duchess of Edinburgh travelled to Kyiv in April last year to visit a UN survivor relief centre in the city.

Harry's father, King Charles, also welcomed Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky to Sandringham in March.
