Harry and Meghan have released a statement which starts

“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.

and continues by stating the bleeding obvious about the current world situation, although what use a statement from Harry and Meghan is with regard to putting things right, I have no idea.

Apparently these two are considered Royalty in America even though they have left the Royal Family and are not thought so in the United Kingdom, perhaps this should be pointed out to those who reside over the pond.

The most amusing thing I heard about their statement was from British news host Simon McCoy who laughed out loud at their statement on air.

The presenter sniggered when his co-presenter Kirsty Gallacher detailed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex had been left speechless by the Taliban takeover.

Kirsty explained that Harry and Meghan have broken their silence to say they are speechless about the situation in Afghanistan, to which, Mr McCoy failed to cover his amusement and giggled on air before apologising.

Quite amusing that two people who in their own words are speechless and seemingly lost for words have managed to produce quite a few, should you have nothing better to do, I have included the full statement for your edification and delight.

“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.

When any person or community suffers, a piece of each of us does so with them, whether we realize it or not. And though we are not meant to live in a state of suffering, we, as a people, are being conditioned to accept it. It’s easy to find ourselves feeling powerless, but we can put our values into action — together.

To start, we encourage you to join us in supporting a number of organizations doing critical work. We also urge those in positions of global influence to rapidly advance the humanitarian dialogues that are expected to take place this fall at multilateral gatherings such as the U.N. General Assembly and the G20 Leaders’ Summit.

As an international community, it is the decisions we make now — to alleviate suffering among those we know and those we may never meet — that will prove our humanity.”– THE DUKE & DUCHESS OF SUSSEX
