Prince Harry "lost" the opportunity to carry out a royal job that he would have been "uniquely qualified" to do, as another member of his family took the opportunity.
Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh made history as the first member of the Royal Family to visit Ukraine since the onset of the Russian invasion.
In April, she carried out a one-day visit representative of the Foreign Office aimed at demonstrating solidarity with the civilians impacted by the war.
Speaking to TalkTV, royal correspondent Michael Cole said that the role would have been a perfect fit for Prince Harry, who served in the Army and did two tours of Afghanistan.
Cole said Sophie did a "great job" but it's "exactly the sort of job" Prince Harry would be "uniquely qualified to do" if he were still a working member of the Royal Family.
He said Harry is qualified to "go to a war zone" and to a country at war to "give them comfort and give them experience".
During her visit, the Duchess paid tribute to those who lost their lives in the town of Bucha amid Russia's occupation.
Her itinerary also included a meeting with Ukraine's President, Volodymyr Zelensky.
The Royal Family has been vocal in their support for Ukraine, with King Charles addressing the second anniversary of the invasion in February and speaking of Russia's "indescribable aggression" and "unprovoked attack".

Despite this, none of the royals ventured into Ukraine amidst the conflict until the visit from Sophie who is married to Prince Edward, the King's youngest sibling.
Throughout her journey, Sophie encountered survivors of sexual violence and torture. At an evening reception hosted at the residence of the UK ambassador to Ukraine, Martin Harris, she spoke candidly about her interactions with survivors in other conflict-ridden nations.
"Women and girls pay the highest price in terms of human costs," she declared, before noting: "Rape is used to demean, to degrade and to destroy."
During her time with President Zelensky and First Lady Olena Zelenska, Sophie conveyed a personal message from King Charles and discussed ongoing support for survivors of sexual violence in war.
