It's unusual for high-ranking British royals to take sides in a military conflict — but the statement does not come as a surprise. Earlier, Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan also condemned Russia's actions as a "breach of international and humanitarian law."
They added: "Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex and all of us at Archewell stand with the people of Ukraine."
Prince Harry again addressed the topic during a speech at the NAACP Image Awards on Saturday.
