Are they speaking on behalf of the UK or the US? Or are they just jumping at the chance to get attention. Harry and Meghan have spoken. President Russian Putin is scared now LOL. Angela Levin, royal biographer, called the statement staggeringly arrogant.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s statement came at the right time, accompanying those of other leaders and influential figures in the international community.
We stand with the people of Ukraine is the title of the official statement signed by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, posted on their charitable foundation’s website.
At Archewell, we stand in solidarity with the Ukrainian people and once morest this violation of international and humanitarian law. We encourage the global community and its leaders to do the same, the statement read.
Since Harry and Meghan Markle left Britain following renouncing their status as members of the British royal family, the couple have spoken out politically on numerous occasions, taking clearly position on current affairs.
From the Black Lives Matter protests to the US presidential election, during which Meghan took the time to encourage her fellow Americans to go to the polls, becoming, in effect, the first royal linked to the British royal family to vote.
The Sussexes do not represent the House of Windsor, so they speak on a personal basis, hastened to clarify the palace.
The former president Donald Trump, who at the time was still in office and in the running for re-election, replied with annoyance: Meghan? I have never been a fan. I wish good luck to Prince Harry, he is going to need it. A scuffle that started a few years ago and continued with occasional rants.
Even then, on closer inspection, Trump expressed his admiration for Putin, antagonizing the Sussexes’ position. However, on this occasion, beyond politics, Harry and Meghan’s statement is more of a show of solidarity with a people living through times of anguish and genuine terror.
