Prince Harry and Meghan Markle ‘left speechless’ over Taliban takeover
NY Post ^ | August 17, 2021 | Sam Raskin

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle said Tuesday they were “devastated” and “left speechless” by the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan amid President Biden’s withdrawal of US troops.

“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,” the Megxit duo wrote.

Taliban members patrol the streets of Jalalabad city, Afghanistan on August 17, 2021, as the Taliban takes control of Afghanistan after President Ashraf Ghani fled the country.

Prince Harry served in the British Army and was deployed to Afghanistan twice.

They also weighed in on the devastating earthquake in Haiti. “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,” the couple said.

They are a good example of how zero plus zero equals zero.

Those two are never speechless. Even when they say they are speechless it takes them a paragraph.

Is this from The Onion, or the Bee?

Well apparently people do care. The Oprah interview ratings were huge.

“we are left speechless,” -— but not wordless. Type, type, type they must!

Speechless and Heartbroken.
Thank goodness they weighed in with those ponderous pronouncements. We can all now begin our self reflection.

I will accept the writings of Prince Harry, since he has skin in the game.
His wife? Not so much!

If they are speechless, how can they speak and express an opinion?

I know. Whenever an ex-Royal speaks, I always hang on every word.

"They are a good example of how zero plus zero equals zero."

And their old pal Zero Obama more than likely played a role in it all.

'Well apparently people do care. The Oprah interview ratings were huge.'

Maybe it was like watching slapstick comedy.

I’m just surprised they’re able to function after the Obama snub. If it makes them feel any better, I’m not inviting them to my birthday party, either.

Shame on him. He was there. Back when he had his testicles intact.

He knows better.
