Prince Harry & PM Starmer Clash with Trump over NATO Troops Claim
Prince Harry joins UK PM in condemning Trump’s claim NATO troops avoided frontlines in Afghanistan.
On 24 January 2026, Prince Harry, a two‑tour Afghanistan veteran, joined UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer in publicly rebuking former US President Donald Trump’s assertion that NATO allies, including Britain, stayed ‘a little off the frontlines’. Trump’s comments, made during a Fox News interview in Davos, sparked outrage from veterans and MPs. Harry highlighted that 457 British service personnel were killed in Afghanistan, stressing the sacrifices made. Stemming from this, the UK Downing Street spokesperson reiterated Britain’s sustained combat role alongside NATO forces, while Starmer urged Trump to apologise. The controversy underscores the enduring sensitivity of Afghan war memories in the UK and NATO alliance.
