“I served there. I made friends there for life. And I lost friends there. 457 servicemen died in Great Britain alone.. These victims deserve to be spoken about truthfully and with respect as we all remain united and loyal to the defense of diplomacy and peace,” the prince wrote.
Harry recalled that in 2001, the United States activated Article 5 of NATO, and allies, in particular Great Britain, responded to this call.
The statement of Prince Harry was published after the recent words of the President of the United States, Donald Trump, caused a wide resonance in the government and in the society of Britain.
Trump in an interview with Fox News statedthat NATO troops stayed away from the front in Afghanistan.
The words of the American president were also condemned by the top officials of Poland, which also took part in the operations of the allies.
