Prince Harry has revealed in his upcoming autobiography “Spare” that he killed 25 Taliban insurgents while serving in the British Army in Afghanistan. The Daily Telegraph obtained a copy of the Spanish version of the book ahead of its official release on Tuesday, January 10.
The revelation has sparked criticism from some British security and military figures, as well as an angry rebuke from the Taliban. In the book, Harry is quoted as describing Taliban insurgents as “chess pieces” taken off the board, rather than people.
The BBC reported that Harry wrote: “It wasn’t a statistic that filled me with pride but nor did it leave me ashamed.”
The news has raised concerns for the royal’s safety, with some security experts warning that the Taliban could use the information to target him.
The memoir is set to be released on Tuesday, January 10, and is expected to contain a range of revelations from the royal’s life. It is unclear how much of the book will focus on his time in Afghanistan, but it is likely to provide an insight into the prince’s experience of the conflict.
