THE TELEGRAPH: Sacrifices of British soldiers and their families should be spoken about ‘truthfully’, says Duke
The Duke of Sussex has hit back at Donald Trump, saying the “sacrifices” of British soldiers who served and died in Afghanistan “deserve to be spoken about truthfully and with respect”.
Prince Harry, who served on two front-line tours in Afghanistan and spent 10 years in the British Army, said he had “lost friends” in the conflict and that “thousands of lives were changed forever”.
His intervention came after the Prime Minister denounced the US president for saying Nato troops had “stayed a little back” during two decades of fighting against the Taliban, adding that he would apologise if he had said the words used by Mr Trump. » | Victoria Ward Deputy Royal Editor.
