Royal experts in the UK wonder if Prince Harry would react to the brutal US withdrawal from Afghanistan as the Taliban have taken over the big cities.
The Duke of Sussex, married to former American actress Meghan Markle, is currently residing in Los Angeles after leaving royal duties from him.
While political commentators criticize the United States for its ‘hasty’ withdrawal, Prince Harry has chosen not to comment on the situation in Afghanistan.

Royal correspondent Richard Palmer said on Sunday: “It is only a matter of time before someone writes a story claiming to know Prince Harry’s thoughts on the Afghanistan debacle.”
He added: “I think. I would be surprised even now if he publicly criticized the brutal US withdrawal, the chaos that followed and the loss of lives of the soldiers.”
Prince Harry said in 2013 that he killed Afghan insurgents in operations against the Taliban during his second deployment to Afghanistan, where he was a rifleman in Apache attack helicopters.
The Taliban had said they would do anything to kidnap or kill Harry on his tour, and an Afghan insurgent warlord called him a drunken ‘jackal’ who wanted to kill innocent Afghans.
