This conspiracy theory has nothing to do with reality. Prince Harry came to Ukraine to present new initiatives for the rehabilitation of the wounded soldiers and civilians, and has already left.
A number of propaganda and conspiracy resources have written that Prince Harry allegedly arrived in Ukraine «to participate in the coronation». On Sunday, he is allegedly to be symbolically proclaimed king of Ukraine in St. Sophia Cathedral, and the necessary amendments to the Constitution are already being prepared. The authors of the text cite the unnamed «planners of the coronation» and «sources in Kyiv».
However, this conspiracy theory has nothing to do with reality. In fact, Prince Harry came to Ukraine on an unannounced visit at the invitation of the government, to present new initiatives in support of the rehabilitation of the wounded and provide assistance to the regions of the country, together with the team of his own foundation Invictus Games. The prince also visited the National Museum of Ukrainian History in World War II, where he talked with veterans, and also met with Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko. And in the evening he returned by train: Yevhen Klopotenko showed on his Instagram page how he saw off Prince Harry and presented him a can of borscht. No coronation did or could take place. Changes to the Constitution — not to mention radical changes to the political system of Ukraine — are prohibited during martial law.
One of the first to spread the «news» was Anton Gura on his Telegram channel, followed by almost 250 thousand subscribers. The Ukrainian blogger became famous at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic with a live broadcast from a plane from Milan, which, as he claimed, was deliberately filled with infected patients. Since then, he has regularly spread disinformation about the coronavirus and vaccines, and later conspiracy theories on other topics: not so long ago, Gura even claimed that Volodymyr Zelensky launched an artificial sun into the sky. Anton Gura’s fakes are mostly pro-Russian, which is why he is also popular among the Russian audience: the blogger often writes that Ukraine as a state does not actually exist, and that Russia and Ukraine started a war on the instructions of the «Western masters» with the aim of «exterminating the slavic people».
Prince Harry last visited Ukraine in April, and the Russians then also spread fakes on this occasion. We refuted one of them in the article Fake: Prince Harry Met with a Boy Injured in a Fire, Set by a Drunk Mother — Ukraine Tried to Pass Him Off as a War Victim.
