Good Morning Britain has delivered a breaking news update regarding Prince Harry live on air.
During Thursday’s (April 23) instalment of the ITV programme, presenters Richard Madeley and Kate Garraway appeared on screens as they briefed viewers on the most significant news stories from throughout the UK and internationally.
Shortly into the broadcast, Ranvir Singh, who was presenting the headlines, revealed breaking news following Prince Harry’s unexpected visit to Ukraine, calling on the world not to forget what the nation is facing, reports the Mirror.
Addressing viewers at home, Ranvir stated: “That breaking news from Kyiv. Hello there, very good morning to you. Well, Prince Harry has arrived in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv for a two day visit.”
She added: “He will see some of the work of the Halo Trust an organisation that specialises in clearing landmines and explosives from war torn countries, which, of course, you’ll remember his mother, Princess Diana, was a keen supporter of.

“She worked with them in Angola in 1997. Well, the Duke of Sussex has told ITV news that he wants to remind the world what Ukraine is up against in its war with Russia, our royal editor Chris Ship is in Kyiv and is the only correspondent with access to Harry on this trip.”
The programme then switched to a news segment from Chris, who reported: “Prince Harry arrived here at Ukraine’s main railway station. He came in on an overnight train from Poland, and yes, an unannounced visit, they always are, of course, for obvious reasons when you come to Ukraine.”
He continued: “And perhaps a reminder that at a time when the world’s attention has been on Iran and the conflict there, the fight here is still going on.”
The Duke of Sussex made his unannounced trip to Kyiv at a moment when global concern had largely shifted towards the conflict in Iran.
“It’s good to be back in Ukraine”, Prince Harry said as he arrived. He told ITV News that he wanted “to remind people back home and around the world what Ukraine is up against and to support the people and partners doing extraordinary work every hour of every day in incredibly tough conditions”.
He described Ukraine as “a country bravely and successfully defending Europe’s eastern flank”, adding that “it matters that we don’t lose sight of the significance of that”.
His message to the Ukrainian people was that “the world sees you and respects you”.
Senior Western defence and government figures are convening in the Ukrainian capital for the Kyiv Security Conference, where Harry is scheduled to address delegates, arguing that the struggle there extends far beyond a straightforward dispute over territory.
He will also see the dangerous work being carried out by The Halo Trust, which employs 1,300 people in de-mining work in Ukraine – it’s the largest operation anywhere in the world.
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays from 7am on ITV1 and ITVX
