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.

“The Oprah interview ratings were huge.”

People wanted to see a prince buzzard battered. They got their money’s worth.

Only one part of this dynamic duo has political opinions, and it is less competent than sleepy joe in the matter of Afghanistan.

The opportunistic half wants to be president of the USA, and it is getting its words into the media to prepare our minds for the impossibly unthinkable: meghan markle presidential candidate.

There is no monarchy in the USA, so these kingly titles must be stripped from them in all news articles. But they won’t be by the media that is still obsessed with the poorly matched pair.

4,000 words to describe how “speechless” they are.

Speechless because they can’t say whether they approve of it or not.

If these two were to remain speechless about everything, we would all be much better off.

I’m relieved they finally spoke up about this. My finger has a blister on it from refreshing their twit page for the past week.

Maybe you two should get down there and help!
