Prince Harry visits war-torn Ukraine

Prince Harry visits war-torn Ukraine

In a rare public intervention on global security, Prince Harry arrived in Ukraine unannounced to meet with defense officials and civil society leaders.

Speaking as a former soldier, he emphasized the importance of American leadership in ending the conflict and praised the bravery of Ukrainian troops.

President Trump responded to the visit by stating that Harry 'is not speaking for the UK' and questioned his influence on foreign policy.

The Duke's visit highlights the growing divide between the British royal family and the current U.S. administration regarding the war in Europe.
