\n

Harry sparked a reaction from both the US and Russia<\/a> after he delivered an impassioned speech at the Kyiv Security Forum on Thursday in which he appealed to Russian President Vladimir Putin<\/a> to \u201cstop this war\u201d and urged \u201cAmerican leadership\u201d to honour its obligations in the Ukrainian conflict. Responding to the speech Harry made<\/a>, Mr Trump told reporters: \u201cI know one thing, Prince Harry<\/a> is not speaking for the UK, that\u2019s for sure. I think I am speaking for the UK more than Prince Harry.\u201d He added: \u201cBut I appreciate his advice very much.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He went on to ask: \u201cHow\u2019s he doing? How\u2019s his wife? Please give her my regards.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

While several people praised Harry for his speech, others criticised him and said he should steer clear of politics.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

One of those was Lee Cohen, a US-based columnist and royal and foreign policy commentator, who described Harry\u2019s comments as \u201cjaw-dropping\u201d and urged him to get a \u201creality check\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Mr Cohen told the Daily Express: \u201cPrince Harry\u2019s Ukraine<\/a> commentary is a jaw-dropping display of a lack of self-perception that demands a reality check.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThose tied to the Crown\u2014working or otherwise\u2014simply do not wade into partisan geopolitics. Yet here is a man who represents no government or institution, spotlighting himself amid a war, all while clinging to the royal associations that he rejected.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cHe talks about his service, yet walked away from duty, trashed the institution that gives him relevance in public, and now repurposes its prestige for personal crusades.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Mr Cohen added: \u201cHe is a walking liability. When will the Palace or Parliament take the necessary action to cut his wings and prevent further damage?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Harry\u2019s lengthy, impassioned speech at the Kyiv Security Forum on Thursday, included him saying he was \u201cnot here as a politician\u201d but as \u201ca soldier who understands service\u201d and a \u201chumanitarian\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Harry said: \u201cThe United States has a singular role in this story. Not only because of its power, but because when Ukraine gave up nuclear weapons, America was part of the assurance that Ukraine\u2019s sovereignty and borders would be respected.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\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
