U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday brushed off remarks by Prince Harry asking the U.S. for more action to end the war in Ukraine, saying the royal does not speak for the United Kingdom.

“I know one thing, Prince Harry is not speaking for the U.K., that’s for sure. I think I am speaking for the U.K. more than Prince Harry. But I appreciate his advice very much,” Trump said, before quipping: “How’s he doing? How’s his wife?”

“Please give him my regards,” Trump added.

Harry recently visited Ukraine, where he called on the U.S. to increase support for Kyiv and urged Russian President Vladimir Putin to “choose a different course.”

King Charles III and Queen Camilla are scheduled to visit Washington next week, including stops at the White House and the U.S. Capitol.
