PRINCE Harry is a “hypocrite” for claiming that the UK is “unsafe” while publicly broadcasting his visit to Ukraine, an expert has claimed.
The Duke of Sussex, 40, was invited to Kyiv by the Ukrainian government, and vowed he wanted to do “everything possible” to help rehabilitate veterans.

Harry and a team from the Invictus Games Foundation are working on a strategy to support those affected by the three-year war with Russia.
The Duke publicly broadcasted his arrival to Ukraine, a country very much in the midst of war against Putin’s forces which has claimed over a million lives.
However, Harry declared “my life is at stake” when he lost a three-year, multimillion-pound fight after his round-the-clock royal protection was axed in the wake of Megxit.
And the Duke of Sussex even claimed stripping him of his security was a plot to force him and his wife Meghan back to Britain.
Now, a royal expert has questioned Harry’s stance on visiting war-torn Ukraine after his protracted security dispute in the UK.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, royal biographer and expert Hugo Vickers praised Harry’s work but questioned the issues of security.
He said: “Going into a war zone. Well, he knows what he’s doing when he’s doing those things, and he knows it’s more important to go there than to worry about his personal security.
“But I take the point, there is a hypocritical element there.
“You know, he’s not going to be in any particular danger in the UK.
“In fact, when we we saw him in, sort of, quite safe-looking vehicles, and he was swept in when he went to Clarence House, certainly, and, you know, to the other engagements.
“I mean, he doesn’t get police outriders, fine, but, I mean, why should he?”

Harry served for 10 years in the British Army before setting up the Invictus Games Foundation, a charity which runs an international sporting event for military personnel wounded in action.
Ukrainian forces have shown great strength and resilience on the battlefield as they protect their homeland from the Kremlin tyrant’s troops.
But there are reportedly already 130,000 people left struggling with disabilities as a result of the Ukraine war.
However, Mr Vickers also praised Harry’s motives for visiting Ukraine, saying: “I, of course, as you won’t be surprised to hear, commend very much anything like that that he does, because that’s what he’s good at, and that’s what he’s trained at.
“Of course, the sort of strange part of it is that he goes on about security a lot, and going into Ukraine is presumably extremely dangerous.
“But, good for him for going anyway. I’m sure they were very glad to see him.
“I mean, no one would want him not to support a charity, or to support wounded soldiers, or to do anything that he can for the general good. “
And Mr Vickers conceded that the trip is evidence that despite his fall from the spotlight, Harry still has “something to offer”.
He said: “And you see that, you know, from the clips of him with the charities in England and out in Ukraine, how people respond to him.
“You know, he’s got something to offer.
“So, it’s a pity that that isn’t harnessed, but I can’t quite see how it’s going to work.
“For example, if he came back to this country and took on royal duties again – let’s say he came back even on his own to do that – it would of course detract from what the other members of the royal family were doing.
“You know, it’s a tricky one, because, you know, he was trained and was very, very good at his royal duties.”
The Duke also visited the National Museum of the History of Ukraine in the Second World War.

He met with 200 veterans and the Ukrainian prime minister, Yulia Svyrydenko.
Mr Vickers also noted how it was a shame that Harry was not doing his good work – specifically along military or humanitarian lines – in a royal capacity anymore.
He said: “I think what’s very sad is that he was trained for exactly those things to do as part of his royal duties.
“He was trained to do work for charities, he was trained to do work with the military.
“He was very happy when he was serving in the army, even if, from time to time, his, status got in the way.
“Like when he was called back from Iraq in case he got kidnapped or something.”
Mr Vickers continued: “That’s always been the problem of the royal family when they try to serve in the armed forces.
“But he was very happy, he found his identity there.
“He’s mostly seen looking uncomfortable in California now.”
