Prince Harry paid an emotional visit to Fisher House UK, at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, where he reunited with injured veterans and the medical teams whose care changed their lives.
The Duke of Sussex spent time meeting ex-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 reunite 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 medical professionals, caregivers and charitable organizations who stand by injured service members throughout their recovery.
“Places like the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham and Fisher House remind us that recovery is never something you do alone,” the Duke said.
When they met, the Duke joked that the medical teams who rebuilt his life probably didn’t expect to treat 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.
