Duke and Duchess share ‘heartbreak’
THE Duke and Duchess of Sussex have shared their ‘heartbreak’ over the state of the ‘exceptionally fragile’ world, saying they have been left speechless by the situation in Afghanistan.
Harry, who fought in the country on two frontline tours with the Army, and Meghan also expressed their distress about the earthquake in Haiti and said they were ‘scared’ amid the new Covid variants and continuing global health crisis. The couple, who quit royal duties for a life in California, urged global leaders to speed up humanitarian talks and asked people to support charities trying to help those in need. In a joint statement on their Archewell website, Harry and Meghan said: “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.”
