Prince Harry<\/a> was slammed by a royal commentator for a \u201cone-man publicity stunt\u201d<\/a> following his remarks about the conflict between Ukraine and Russia. Harry delivered a lengthy, impassioned speech at the Kyiv Security Forum on Thursday, 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 In a rare input on global matters, the King\u2019s youngest son turned his attention to the US<\/a> \u2013 although he did not mention Mr Trump by name \u2013 urging the \u201cAmerican leadership\u201d to \u201chonour its international treaty obligations\u201d in its \u201cenduring role in global security\u201d. Harry 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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\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 But his speech sparked reaction from the US President, Donald Trump<\/a>, who said that the Duke \u201cis not speaking for the UK\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Now, a royal commentator has weighed in on Harry\u2019s remarks and said the move, when the royal is not a working member of the Firm, is a \u201cgrift that insults the Crown\u2019s discipline and the public\u2019s intelligence\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Lee Cohen, a US-based columnist and royal and foreign policy commentator, told the Daily Express: \u201cParading as a voice of authority on war and peace, without expertise or mandate, isn\u2019t leadership\u2014it\u2019s a one-man publicity stunt that drowns out real diplomacy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cYou don\u2019t get to ditch royal obligations, keep the titles for profit, and then pose as a global statesman when the mood strikes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a grift that insults the Crown\u2019s discipline and the public\u2019s intelligence. Time to end the charade: relinquish the titles or shut up on politics.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Mr Cohen added: \u201cThe halfway house of privilege without responsibility isn\u2019t just untenable.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Responding to the speech Harry made during a surprise visit to Ukraine<\/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<\/a>.\u201d He added: \u201cBut I appreciate his advice very much.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n He went on to ask: \u201cHow\u2019s he doing? How\u2019s his wife? Please give her my regards.\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":" Prince Harry was slammed by a royal commentator for a \u201cone-man publicity stunt\u201d following his remarks about the conflict between Ukraine and Russia.
