"He does not speak for the UK." Donald Trump responded to Prince Harry after his comments on Ukraine.

Donald Trump commented on the remarks of Prince Harry, who arrived in Kyiv yesterday and called on the US president at a forum to help Ukraine end its military special operation, RIA Novosti reports.

Answering a question from reporters at the White House, Trump made it clear that he doesn't take the Duke of Sussex's statements seriously. "Prince Harry? How is he? And his wife? Please give him my best wishes, okay? All I know is Prince Harry doesn't speak for the United Kingdom—that's for sure. I think I speak for the United Kingdom more than Prince Harry does, but I appreciate his advice," Trump said.

The day before, Prince Harry arrived in Kyiv, where he spoke at a security forum. Addressing Ukrainian politicians, he stated, "I am here as a soldier who understands service, as a humanitarian who has seen the human cost of conflict, and as a friend of Ukraine." The Duke of Sussex also addressed Vladimir Putin: "President Putin, no country benefits from the continued loss of life we ​​are witnessing." He also called on Donald Trump to help Ukraine and thereby end the special operation.

The public animosity between Meghan Markle, Prince Harry's wife, and Donald Trump began long before Meghan became a duchess. Back in 2016, she called the US president a "misogynist" and a "schemer," to which Trump later retorted in an interview, calling her "nasty." When the Duke and Duchess of Sussex moved to California, Trump categorically declared that the US would not pay for their security, to which Meghan and Harry replied that they hadn't asked for it.

Prince Harry previously served in Afghanistan, and since then, almost all of his charitable work has been related to helping war veterans. Prince Harry is the youngest son of King Charles III and Princess Diana. In 2020, Harry and his wife, Meghan, stepped down as royals and moved to the United States, where they now live with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Recently, Harry and Meghan faced further online criticism following their trip to Australia.
