Prince Harry makes surprise London appearance in black tie at Ukraine fundraiser
GB News reported on the event & was able to quote parts of his speech. IDK why they reported it as a surpruse appearance a it's been on his public diary for a few weeks. I particularly enjoyed the comments. Anyway.... some highlights from the article:
"The event, held on Thursday, October 1, brought together supporters of Ukraine's humanitarian cause for what proved to be a significant evening of speeches and fundraising.
Harry, who has increasingly focused his charitable efforts on the war-affected nation in recent years, delivered an address to attendees in which he drew on personal experiences from his visits to Ukraine.
In his speech, the Duke traced the historical ties between Britain and Ukraine before turning to his own encounters with those bearing the war's heaviest toll.
"I have seen something in Ukraine that makes it impossible for me to look away. I have met people who have lost limbs, lost homes and lost loved ones, and yet somehow find the strength to rebuild," he told the audience.
He spoke with particular warmth about Ukrainian members of the Invictus community, describing them as "men and women who served their country and suffered life-changing injuries, but who continue to compete, to lead, to laugh and to look forward."
