Last year, Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, traveled to Kyiv, demonstrating the royal family’s ongoing commitment to supporting the Ukrainian people. The Duke of Sussex, a veteran himself with ten years of service in the British Army, wore a jacket bearing the name of his Invictus Games Foundation during the visit, further emphasizing his dedication to supporting wounded veterans.
