Prince Harry has seemingly made his stance clear regarding King Charles’ recent invitation to US President Donald Trump, amid ongoing tensions between the Duke of Sussex and the political figure.
The monarch personally extended an invitation to Trump, a leader who has previously criticised Harry and Meghan’s royal exit and their move to the US. Meanwhile, Harry continues to face legal scrutiny over his US visa status, following revelations about his past drug use.
During his speech at the Upfront Summit in Los Angeles, Harry appeared to take a veiled swipe at political leaders, raising concerns about “sickness in leadership” and its global impact.
"Now this would be a great time to talk about how a sickness in leadership across sectors—from politics to tech—can have a detrimental effect on millions, if not billions, of people," he remarked before adding, "When basic morals and empathy are abandoned in favour of power and control. But I'm not gonna get into all that now!"
The timing of Harry’s comments has fuelled speculation that they were directed at Trump, especially as King Charles’ personal invitation to the US leader made headlines.
With tensions between the Duke and his father already strained, the latest developments highlight the contrasting approaches between Harry and the royal family on global diplomacy.
