Prince Harry has said the sacrifices made by NATO troops in Afghanistan must be spoken about “truthfully and with respect” after comments by US President Donald Trump. Trump said allied forces stayed “a little back” from the front lines during the war. Prince Harry, who served two tours in Afghanistan, said he lost friends in the conflict and paid tribute to those killed, including 457 British personnel. He noted NATO invoked Article 5 after the 9/11 attacks and allies fought alongside the US. His remarks followed criticism from UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and leaders from several NATO countries.
