Prime Minister Imran Khan on Friday said that the British royal couple, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, are young and have the right to live their life as they wish.
The remarks came during a wide-ranging interview with German broadcaster Deutsche Welle (DW) in which the premier shed light on several aspects of Pakistan’s relationship with other countries.
Harry and Meghan had stepped down as senior members of the British royal family earlier this week, making the decision public and subsequently announcing plans to spend more time in the United States.
During the interview with DW, the premier said that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have the right to live their life as they wish, without any intervention.
Upon being questioned about the crisis that was sparked by the royal pair, PM Khan said: “I have so many issues in Pakistan to deal with. It doesn’t seem to be a huge issue to me.”
“I think, it’s their life. If that’s how they want to lead it, then why should people interfere?” he added.
