Support Following Trump’s Nato Comments
Prince Harry spoke out after Mr Trump told Fox News that Nato soldiers had “stayed a little off the front lines” during the conflict and claimed the United States “never needed” its allies, despite Nato invoking its collective defence clause after the 9/11 attacks.
Harry, who completed two frontline tours in Afghanistan, responded with a statement on Friday stressing that the sacrifices of British service members “deserve to be spoken about truthfully and with respect.”
Meghan’s Public Show of Solidarity
In what appeared to be a clear gesture of support, the Duchess of Sussex shared a series of photos on social media highlighting her husband’s military service and his ongoing role as patron of the Invictus Games.
The images include shots of the duke aboard a military aircraft, alongside photos of veterans competing and celebrating at various Invictus Games events.
During his ten-year full-time military career, Prince Harry served on the front lines against the Taliban in 2007 and returned to Afghanistan for a second deployment in 2012. He also qualified as an Apache helicopter aircraft commander.
