Prince Harry, Meghan Markle donate to Ukraine after personal tragedy

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on Friday shared that they have made undisclosed donations to several charities working to provide relief in Ukraine as the country struggles against a Russian invasion.

The move comes just a day after a Ukrainian athlete who had participated in Harry’s Invictus Games lost his life during the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

Both Harry and Meghan acknowledged Serhii Karaivan’s death in an official statement released on Friday through their organisation, Archewell.

In their statement, they also revealed that they had made several donations to charities including The Halo Trust, a landmine clearance charity, and HIAS, an international organisation that supports refugees.

They also mentioned that they had donated to “a coalition of domestic media such as Kyiv Independent, supported through Are We Europe.”

Earlier, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex paid tribute to the Ukrainian cause during their acceptance speech at the NAACP Image Awards.
