Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have given their views on the current conflict in Afghanistan, which has plagued the country.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Speak Out On The Afghanistan Conflict
Harry, for his part, is no stranger to the region, given that he served in the British armed forces during the war in Afghanistan. While it has been over a decade since he was there, the problems within the country have continued to emerge.
That is why he felt the two had a duty to make their voices heard. In a statement given by the Invictus Games Foundation, the couple said: “The world is exceptionally fragile right now. As we all feel the many layers of pain due to the situation in Afghanistan, we are left speechless.”
Not everyone has taken to the pair’s words in a positive manner. Some have suggested that the duo are trying to create their own version of the Royal family by playing a diplomatic role without being in the institution itself.
Angela Levin, who happens to be a Royal biographer, remarked: “I think Harry and Meghan’s…comments…is another example of them trying to set up some sort of alternate woke royal family.
“Like most of their compassionate gestures, there is no indication about what they themselves will do and whether any donations will be going through Archewell Foundation.”
Regardless of what the two decide to do, the fact that they have spoken on the issue should be praised at the very least. They have shown in the past that they are not shy in giving back to the community, as seen in their philanthropic work overseas, since their departure from the Royal family.
At the same time, their statement could also be seen as an attempt to stay relevant. Nevertheless, they have called on the world to unite. The statement added: “As an international community, it is the decisions we make now — to alleviate suffering among those we know and those we may never meet — that will prove our humanity.
“Let’s keep taking care of each other. Thank you, The Archewell Team.” Harry and Meghan often get a lot of criticism, so when they do something positive, it is only right that they should be commended.
