As well as sending a direct message to Putin in this speech, Harry also urged US leadership<\/a> – without mentioning Trump\u2019s name – to take action. He said: \u201cThe United States has a singular role in this story. Not only because of its power, but because when Ukraine<\/a> gave up nuclear weapons, America was part of the assurance that Ukraine\u2019s sovereignty and borders would be respected.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The prince continued: \u201cThis is a moment for American leadership, a moment for America, to show that it can honour its international treaty obligations \u2013 not out of charity but out of its enduring role in global security and strategic stability.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Speaking exclusively to The Daily Express about Harry\u2019s speech, Richard Fitzwilliams said: \u201cHarry has chosen to intervene publicly and urge the United States to live up to its responsibilities and pledges, on the eve of King Charles’s highly sensitive state visit to America.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Fitzwilliams continued: \u201cIf the Sussexes wanted roles in soft power diplomacy, and this speech indicates that this is what Harry does want, they should have stayed as working royals despite the stresses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cIf so, they would have been likely, especially with Meghan’s American heritage, to have played an important part in the year America celebrated 250 years of independence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cThey chose instead to step down and then launched brutal attacks on the monarchy. Harry made some strong points in his speech, but this looked like someone in search of a serious role.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cYou have to ask, as the King and courtiers are probably asking, whatever next?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.express.co.uk \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As well as sending a direct message to Putin in this speech, Harry also urged US leadership – without mentioning Trump\u2019s name – to take action.
