Le prince Harry à Kiev le 23 avril 2026

Overview

  • In Kyiv on Thursday, Harry called on the United States to lead negotiations to end the war and appealed directly to Vladimir Putin to stop it.
  • Hours later, President Trump said Harry does not speak for the U.K. and added a pointed aside about Meghan, saying, “How’s his wife?”.
  • During the trip, Harry told ITV he will always be part of the British royal family and rejects being described as a non-active member.
  • The visit came only days before King Charles III is due to start a U.S. state visit at Trump’s invitation.
  • Harry also observed a demining exercise that used a VR-guided drone to map explosives, recalling his mother Diana’s long campaign against land mines.
