Meet Prince Heinrich Donatus, the hunky German royal helping Ukrainian refugees – he’s related to Prince Philip and attended the same military school as Harry and William
- The 27-year-old Hereditary Prince of Schaumburg-Lippe has been volunteering with Interhelp to help Ukrainian refugees at the Polish border town of Medyka

In 2020, Prince Heinrich Donatus of Schaumburg-Lippe of Germany, 27, made headlines when he attended the wedding of his father, Prince Alexander of Schaumburg-Lippe, to Persian pianist Mahkameh Navabi.
Lately the prince has been the talk of the town once again, and for a good reason: he has been at the forefront of providing medical assistance with non-profit organisation Interhelp to refugees in Medyka, one of the three main crossing points from Ukraine into Poland.
Here’s what you need to know …
The prince supplied relief goods and an ambulance
On Instagram and Twitter, the prince revealed the supplies that Interhelp delivered including a fully-stocked eight-bed ambulance – “a hospital on wheels” – that was deployed to administer aid to arriving refugees.
Interhelp gathered 25 women and children – including a mother with her three-week-old baby named Lev, who was born one week before the invasion, according to British media. The prince shared that the bus was then handed over to Ukrainian medical forces and was headed to Kyiv.
