Prince Harry has finally spoken out, and this time it has nothing to do with family drama — it's tied to his charity work, right after King Charles sent a touching prayer message.
On August 25, the Invictus Games team posted an update on Instagram, sharing fresh photos along with a written statement about their ongoing project in Ukraine.
According to the post, Richard Smith CBE, who serves as Deputy CEO of the Invictus Games Foundation, sat down with Ukraine's Minister for Veterans Affairs, Vitalii Kim. The two discussed how the Invictus movement is growing inside Ukraine and reviewed the results of their joint efforts so far.
The statement pointed out that this partnership isn't new. The Foundation has been teaming up with Ukraine's Ministry of Veterans Affairs since 2019, helping wounded and disabled veterans get access to sport-based rehabilitation programs. The goal has always been to give former and current soldiers a way to heal and bond with each other through physical activity.
Per the announcement, the recent sit-down was meant to highlight just how valuable this ten-year alliance has become, while also looking at ways to grow the collaboration further under their Signature Programme, which focuses specifically on recovery through sport.
What makes the timing interesting is that this update landed shortly after King Charles sent his own message to Ukraine, marking the country's Independence Day with words of support. Harry's camp choosing to release their statement right afterward hasn't gone unnoticed by royal watchers.
