Prince Harry paid an emotional visit to Fisher House UK at Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, reuniting with 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 touching moments of the visit came when Harry saw Boggi reunited with Squadron Leader Lauren Odell, the military nurse whose quick actions helped save his life after devastating injuries he sustained while serving in Afghanistan.
Reflecting on the experience, he praised the dedication of health workers, carers and charities who stand by injured service personnel throughout their recovery.
“Places like Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham 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 rebuilding his life probably didn’t expect to patch him up more than once.
“Usually when they fix people up and send them out they don’t expect to have to do it again,” Harry said.
