Prince Harry breaks silence on Donald Trump's Afghanistan comments with fresh statement: 'I served there'

Prince Harry has broken his silence on Donald Trump's Afghanistan comments with a fresh statement.

The Duke of Sussex told GB News: “In 2001, NATO invoked Article 5 for the first—and only—time in history.

"It meant that every allied nation was obliged to stand with the United States in Afghanistan, in pursuit of our shared security. Allies answered that call.

"I served there. I made lifelong friends there. And I lost friends there. The United Kingdom alone had 457 service personnel killed.

"Thousands of lives were changed forever. Mothers and fathers buried sons and daughters.Children were left without a parent. Families are left carrying the cost.

"Those sacrifices deserve to be spoken about truthfully and with respect, as we all remain united and loyal to the defence of diplomacy and peace.”
