Prince Harry issues rare direct appeal to Donald Trump over Ukraine war

The Duke of Sussex delivered a direct message to Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin in a surprise address during his visit to Kyiv on Thursday (23 April). In a rare input on global matters, Prince Harry appealed to "American leadership" to show that "it can honour its international treaty obligations - not out of charity, but out of its enduring role in global security and strategic stability.” King Charles III's youngest son also called on the Russian leader to “stop this war”, as he condemned the “systematic war crimes” of the Ukrainian conflict.
