Prince Harry made an emotional visit to Fisher House UK at Birmingham’s Queen Elizabeth Hospital, where he met wounded veterans and the medical teams whose care changed their lives.
The Duke of Sussex spent time meeting former servicemen and women recovering from life-changing injuries, including Invictus Games gold medalist and triple amputee Josh Boggi.
One of the most moving moments of the visit came when Harry watched Boggi meet with Squadron Leader Lauren Odell, the military nurse whose quick actions helped save his life after devastating injuries suffered while serving in Afghanistan.
Reflecting on the experience, he praised the dedication of healthcare professionals, carers and charities who accompany injured service personnel during their recovery.
“Places like Birmingham’s Queen Elizabeth Hospital and Fisher House remind us that recovery is never something anyone does alone,” the Duke said.
During their meeting, the duke joked that the medical teams who rebuilt his life probably didn’t expect to cure him more than once.
“Normally when they heal people and send them away, they don’t expect to have to do it again,” Harry joked.
