    Prince Harry and Meghan Markle crossed a line with their response to the Afghanistan crisis, according to a royal expert. Charlie Rae, the former royal editor at The Sun, said that the couple “should not have been involved” in a response to the political and humanitarian crisis. He told talkRADIO that the Queen should have been the one to make a comment, as he criticised the statement as a “very cheap” power move.

    Mr Rae said that Harry should have issued a statement on his own, “based on his direct experience” of Afghanistan.

    The Duke of Sussex, 36, worked two frontline tours of Afghanistan during his 10 years in the British Army.

    Instead, the couple said that the Taliban takeover and ensuing chaos had left them “speechless”.

    The statement covered several crises beyond Afghanistan including Haiti, disinformation and the coronavirus.

    Mr Rae explained: “I thought it was very cheap to put that statement out.

    “It would have carried a lot more weight if it was just Harry.

    “It has nothing to do with Meghan!

    “Harry has a good insight because he has done two tours of Afghanistan which he served with distinction. 

    “But I don’t know about using 200 words to say I’m speechless about what is going on.

    The couple – using their Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles – said in their statement: “The world is exceptionally fragile right now.

    “As we all feel the many layers of pain due to the situation in Afghanistan, we are left speechless.

    “As we all watch the growing humanitarian disaster in Haiti, and the threat of it worsening after last weekend’s earthquake, we are left heartbroken.

    “And as we all witness the continuing global health crisis, exacerbated by new variants and constant misinformation, we are left scared.

    “When any person or community suffers, a piece of each of us does so with them, whether we realize it or not.

    “And though we are not meant to live in a state of suffering, we, as a people, are being conditioned to accept it.

    “It’s easy to find ourselves feeling powerless, but we can put our values into action — together.”
