How’s his wife? Trump fires barb at Prince Harry after Duke’s Ukraine plea

Donald Trump says Prince Harry “is not speaking for the UK” after the royal urged the US to take a decisive role in ending the war in the Ukraine.

“I know one thing: Prince Harry is not speaking for the UK,” the US President said Friday. “That’s for sure. I think I’m speaking for the UK more than Prince Harry. But I appreciate his advice.

“How’s he doing? How’s his wife? Please give her my regards.”

Mr Trump’s blunt response followed the Duke of Sussex’s surprise visit to the Ukraine capital on Thursday. Harry delivered a lengthy, impassioned speech at the Kyiv Security Forum, saying he was “not here as a politician” but as “a soldier who understands service” and as a humanitarian.

In a rare input on global matters, the King’s youngest son also turned his attention to the US - although he did not mention Mr Trump by name.

“This is a moment for American leadership -- a moment for America to show that it can honour its international treaty obligations, not out of charity, but out of its own enduring role in global security and strategic stability,” Harry said.

He called on Russian President Vladimir Putin,r to “prevent further suffering” for both Ukrainians and Russians and choose a different path.

“President Putin, no nation benefits from the continued loss of life we are witnessing,” Harry said.

“There is still a moment - now - to stop this war, to prevent further suffering for Ukrainians and Russians alike, and to choose a different course.”

He condemned the “systematic war crimes”, and the “chilling” treatment of Ukraine’s children.

Harry suggested the conflict is “not simply a war about territory”, but one about “values” and “sovereignty”.

He praised the Ukrainian people’s endurance, saying “this is what leadership looks like in the modern world”, and spoke of the “staggering” human toll of the war.

The duke, who served on two frontline tours to Afghanistan, said: “I am not here as a politician.

“I am here as a soldier who understands service, as a humanitarian who has seen the human cost of conflict, and as a friend of Ukraine who believes the world must not grow used to this war or numb to its consequences.”

Harry was filmed by ITV News arriving at Kyiv railway station on Thursday morning, stepping off an overnight train from Poland and greeting and hugging people on the platform.

“It’s good to be back in Ukraine, a country bravely and successfully defending Europe’s eastern flank,” Harry also told The Sun newspaper.

His speech comes just four days before his father the King begins a major state visit to America to see Trump.

Harry’s unannounced visitis - his third trip to Ukraine since the war began in 2022.

He is set to visit the Halo Trust, a mine-clearance charity that was supported by his mother, Princess Diana, during his visit.

“Even as communities rebuild and support one another, the dangers of war persist,” he said at the security forum.

“Across fields, towns, and villages, landmines and unexploded ordnance remain. A silent, enduring threat to civilians, long after the fighting moves on,” he added, highlighting the work of the Halo Trust.
