Trump takes aim at Prince Harry over Ukraine war remarks

Source: Kyiv Independent

U.S. President Donald Trump said that Prince Harry "is not speaking for the U.K." after the British royal urged the United States to play a larger role in supporting Ukraine.

Trump made the remarks during an event at the White House on April 23, where he was asked by a reporter whether Harry's comments were appropriate.

"Prince Harry — how's he doing? Please give him my regards," Trump said. "I think I know one thing: Prince Harry is not speaking for the U.K., that's for sure. I think I'm speaking for the U.K. more than Prince Harry, but I appreciate his advice."

Trump was responding to comments Harry made during a surprise visit to Ukraine on April 23. Addressing the Kyiv Security Forum, Harry called for stronger U.S. leadership — without specifically naming the president.

You know, I've never been big on the whole royalty thing, but Harry is scoring points with me. I'm chuckling that he got under the skin of Donald. How thin the skin must be. So now the Donald speaks more for the UK than Harry?

Here's another link concerning Harry's Ukraine visit from the other major paper in Ukraine:

Harry's visit and prepared script would have been vetted and have the full support of the UK government.

He is still a royal, and still does things the royal 'by the book' way.
