He’s certainly made life for his security a little harder.

It’s also not something he’s should really admit…if it’s true and not another lie.

He can't win really, if he goes into too much detail he'll get mullered, and if he just says "I did some tours and experienced combat situations but I don't wanna talk about it" he'll likewise get mullered, often by the same people. I get that he has to put 'exciting', or otherwise hard hitting content in his book, but frankly I think just leaving the number out would have been for the best, it's a) hard to prove by anyone, much less himself personally, but also it adds nothing, who cares if it was 8 or 28?

Yes he has. Not everyone who fought in the desert wars, or any war, had to kill anyone and those who did, do not generally broadcast it.

By stating 'I killed 25 Taliban' he is making an inflammatory comment and inviting retribution from any pro-Taliban crazy. I don't agree that he has done the Army a disservice because, well sometimes military have to kill people, goes with the territory.

However, he has now painted a target on himself, his wife and children. Dick move.

He can, he could fuck off in to obscurity for the life of peace they apparently wanted- instead of talking to the media every 5 minutes and releasing a book, series and no doubt a bloody play and musical in the next couple of years if they can squeeze some cash out of it

I think he has, no doubt about it. And to compare the people he had killed to “Chess Pieces” is rubbing the salt into the wound.

Bragging, and it’s a brag no matter how he dresses it up, about how many you killed is a major no no.

My grandad, when he returned from the War, never mentioned about how many he killed, and to ask him brought pain to him.

Harry needs to get help now, before he says something else and someone nails him.

Technically, he'd be a 'bloater'. Someone who has served but exaggerated their service/experience.

A Walter Mitty is someone who has never served.

Its is a very strange declaration. And such a specific number.

But as an Apache co-pilot and gunner, i think its certainly possible he did kill some enemy. But how he can put an exact number on it, i have no idea.

To be fair Rob, soldiers from absolutely every war ever have written accounts of their experiences. Get on Amazon and you can see dozens written by respected British soldiers.

First world war,

Second world war,

Oman,

First Gulf war,

Second Gulf War,

Bosnia and Kosovo,

Afghanistan,

Northern Ireland,

Counter terrorism operations in various places.

Indeed, far more respected and decorated soldiers have claimed and boasted about more over the years. If the media wasn't so focused on Meghan and Him right now he'd likely still be getting applauded for his service.

Just a vile couple...

They wanted to leave the UK, disappear away from the 'intrusive media 'for a quiet life but can't help themselves when money is being thrown at them.

She is just an attention seeker who can switch on thf 'crocodile tears and the Wo is me" at will just like a set director as just called "and action"

And Harry is just thick...he just cannot see the dark blind alley she is leading him down...she's got his balls well n truly in her grasp..

Airing family laundry is just lacking in so much class..

She's pure trailer trash.

Please just disappear for good..

Even if you YouTube the capability of an Apache helicopter and look at the time served it’s highly possible he’s killed at least 25, those machines are absolutely lethal and serve the purpose, however every single armed services veteran I know, one tour or four, they do not talk about it, it’s never discussed and you think about it, that’s the most traumatic thing someone can do to someone else so if you come home and start telling people well …. Did you really do anything ? or are you the most unhinged member of the royal family ever and let’s face it, that’s quite something, send help, send all the help, he needs it

I have countless books on my shelf and on my kindle that make that statement totally false. Fuck loads of veterans talk about kills in combat, some in great detail. He's doing nowt different to hundreds (if not more)of others.

See how could he even know the figures, when he was with the lancers he was a forward fire controller, and as an apache pilot how would these figures even be able to be confirmed.

Interesting that he complained previously that he was being declined Security for his family , at his own cost even, then says something like that, presumably knowing the possibilities.

I’ve known a few ex military, none have ever mentioned anything about being in combat and what happened. I don’t think this will go down well.

I take it no one has ever read Ant Middletons book where he explicitly describes the thrill of killing and compares himself to God?

But yeah Harry is definitely the first to talk about it.

I think it was a dick move to state numbers and compare them to chess pieces, but as others have said plenty of others have written about it. I don't understand the outcry that suggesting he's broken an omerta when si many others have done it before,m

I used to have time for him . Not anymore. I believe he is now the talibans number one target . What a coup it would be for them .

Or a suicide bomber blows himself and a pub full of people up and claims it was revenge for what Harry did.

Not where we seem to be...

Because no ex forces personnel has ever written a book detailing their experiences. Ever. Ever ever......

Quantifying the number, I'm not sure how he can. Not something I would have done.

Describing them as chess pieces, I get what he means. I'd have said it differently.

The vilification he/they get from people who've never met him, much in evidence here, it wasn't long everyone was suggesting we should be kind.

Why is he more of a target now he's talked about it? I genuinely dint understand? People have known for years that he allegedly saw front line service in Afghanistan, surely that made him a target? Being a Royal surely made him a target? How does discussing this in a book, something many others have done, suddenly make him a target when he's been a target for years?

Spot on.

He hasn't "suddenly" become a target due to this book, he's been a target since the day he was born.

Yeah, or go on YouTube or look for podcasts - dozens of them ex special forces, Seals, it goes on and on. I know for a fact pre Megan he saw action in Afghanistan, my friends son was in same camp - he told me about time where there'd been an IED go off and they were then in a massive firefight and pinned down and he was the gunner in the Apache that turned up and killed numerous insurgents. That was in about 2013 ish I was told that. I dislike all royals, but didn't mind him after that.

I'm going to suggest, and it's only my opinion, he was a target long before this. I'd go as far as suggesting the target was painted the day he was born.

This latest "news" and I use the term loosely, suddenly making him a target is nonsense, he's lived with it all his life.

Don’t slag the royal family off in public and put your name on it !

I think in a couple of years time when the dust settles and the media hype has gone away the royal family will be grieving another loss unfortunately

That’s only my opinion!

I'm going to suggest, and it's only my opinion, he was a target long before this. I'd go as far as suggesting the target was painted the day he was born.

This latest "news" and I use the term loosely, suddenly making him a target is nonsense, he's lived with it all his life.

Winston "

Exactly, I said thos on another thread.

The queen's grandson, son of the future king, he was a target the day he was born. Though then it was more likely the IRA or a random nutter.

But times changed, our perceived enemies changed and he was a potential target to Islamic extremists before he went to war again for no other reason than being born.

And he's been a target since he saw active service in Afghanistan because the Royalz are expected to join the forces it's all part of their pre-planned life (plenty here must be old enough to remember how Edward was ridiculed for joining ahd then quitting the forces).

Which is probably why he gets pissed off at the threat of having his security removed.

This book and its revelations won't have changed his potential risk at all

Simon Harris has posted a pic of the excerpt on Twitter.

If it's a true print of what is in the book, the papers are making it out to be something entirely different to what Harry actually says in the book.

You will find that the majority of those authors - notably those who focus on the detail of their actions in killing - are cast out by their former comrades-in-arms.

Describing the detail in retrospect, in a safe space amongst those who shared the experience, is at the heart of effective trauma management, but do do so in public for the purpose of (essentially) financial gain or self-promotion is utterly crass.

It’s not exactly state secret that he was an Apache gunship pilot, flying over Afghanistan. He’s been a target ever since then. All he’s done is say out loud what people knew he did while he served there.

It’s yet more sensationalism from the media outlets. It sells column inches, nothing more.

This only tends to be true when certain authors/veterans embellish the story, changing the facts so as to make themselves look good or so it sounds more 'hollywood' (Andy McNab/Chris Ryan)

Or if they mention contentious issues best left unsaid (Vince Bramley - execution of Argentinian/Mercenary POW's).

Unfortunately some soldiers/vets do quite openly talk about certain aspects of their operational tours to anyone.

Most however, only really open up to other ex service personnel.

Do i doubt his story he killed Taliban? As an Apache Co-pilot/gunner? No.

Do i believe the number? Possibly, but no idea how the exact number could be verified.

Do i understand his comment about not seeing the taliban as humans, but instead as chess pieces? Yes. Totally. It was a mindset that he needed to kill them. To switch off the fact they were human beings.

Could he have phrased it better? Absolutely

I noticed on Al-Jazeera and the BBC that Taliban leaders in Afghanistan were calling for Harry to be investigated for war crimes.

Apparently Harry is a murderer, and they (the Taliban fighters he killed) were heroic freedom fighters defending their homeland from foreign invaders.

Personally I think that with him being kicked to the kerb for his marriage choice that they need the cash pure and simple. At the end of the day if he did kill 25 enemy combatants he was only doing the job he was being paid for, the world today is a joke that soldiers can be tried for crimes during operations and if it happened to soldiers they simply get away with a stern slap on the wrists. If he did kill them it was only to protect his life and his oppos lives. Would you have the stones to do that job maybe we as a kingdom need to return to national service. Sorry for the off topic rant as such but soldiers getting the bad deal from usual public opinion gets my heckles up that might be to my upbringing.

Don't be silly. Nobody is saying that at all. The issue is simply publicising it so it puts him, his family and his army colleagues more in the firing line that had he kept his mouth shut about operations, like the vast majority of our armed forces do. The question surely is... Was it better for them to publish it on the book. Or not to publish it in the book.? He's an intelligent man with many wise advisers. He chose to write and make money about it. That's the issue.

Many ex forces people may have detailed their killings in books for money but Harry doesn’t need the money. He was getting plenty for simply throwing his family under the bus publicly which is never a good look. What also makes the revelations more uncomfortable is they are in a book also detailing how he lost his virginity and squabbled with his brother rather than a serious analysis of war and its effect on him. One day the media will tire of paying for his ‘truth bombs’ and move on, Megs will become a politician or chat show host and Harry will realise he is back to square one, living in someone else’s shadow, but having burned all his bridges with his family and the British public. The only winner is the author who persuaded him to reveal so much when he would have been better advised not to.

It might be time that newspapers and news outlets stop printing pages about it.

They were less devoted to share any news about Prince Andrew & the Epstein Scandal.

The Duke of York payed several millions as financial settlement to his accuser Virginia Giuffre - formally ending a civil case brought against him.

The focus and feelings on Harry are disproportionate. Time that everyone let it go and don't bother.

Anyway, the 'Firm' if fundamentally racist.

"Meghan has turned Harry into an even bigger Bellend than he was before meeting her....

Bless him, he's just cuntstruck!"

Apparently she has cured him of being a bigot

"Very sad that he did a kill count.

He didn't.

From his book"

"In Spare, he writes: "Most soldiers don't know exactly how many kills they have to their credit.

Under battle conditions, you often fire indiscriminately.

However, in the age of Apaches and laptops, everything I did in the course of two tours of duty was recorded and time-stamped"

The book was published ‘accidently’ in Spain days ago.

If he said "I don't know how many Taliban I shot" some people would cry "but that's not what it says in your book". He can't win, whatever he says.

Look at the vitriol posted about him in this thread, y people who've never even been in the same room as him, let alone spoken to him.

Some people are never happy unless they're moaning about something or someone they know diddly squat about.

Well... In fairness he (and her) have chosen to put quite a lot out there in the last few years. It's their brand. They didn't have to do it. You can't build your social profile up and then moan about it when not everyone in the world is blowing smoke up their arses (and in fairness... They don't seem to have moaned about any response so far)

I imagine there's a world of difference between controlling what you put into the public domain and having scores of scumbag press camped outside your door 24/7 writing news stories about how many times a day they poo.

I can totally see why they'd want to walk away from that and "own" what's out there.

People forget he didn't ask to be a Royal. I can't blame him for waning to fuck it all off.

Strangely, all the negative media attentions are exclusively from English based tabloid. They are doing a great job cultivating racism and bigotry. On way for them to print things like that

" dreaming of the day when she [Meghan] is made to parade naked through the streets of every town in Britain " [...] dreams of people throwing "excrement" at her"

No surprise that he had to leave his own country where the Firm and his own father do nothing about it.

Maybe, the kids have too dark skins.

He has the right to be pissed off, but it is hopeless. He is fitting against institutional racism, and he is not very good at it. Who is good at it anyway when in an emotional stage.

Nothing than sad for everyone involved.

Do you think him doing a netflix series, writing a memoir, doing the rounds of TV interviews is going to attract less or more of the scumbag press to him, vhis family and friends and anyone else named in his book?

I doubt it to be honest.

Maybe he just wants to put his/their own words out there for balance. Or for a change....

Maybe he's been poorly advised.

Maybe it's just for the Benjamins.

Truth is, absolutely none of us knows.

What we do however know is that it's not the expected behaviour of an immediate member of the Royal family. For which there are standards of behaviour and decorum to adhere to. Although his mum did the same thing. Wonder when Meghan expose will be hitting the shelves of el corte ingles.

It might be time that newspapers and news outlets stop printing pages about it.

They were less devoted to share any news about Prince Andrew & the Epstein Scandal.

The Duke of York payed several millions as financial settlement to his accuser Virginia Giuffre - formally ending a civil case brought against him.

The focus and feelings on Harry are disproportionate. Time that everyone let it go and don't bother.

Anyway, the 'Firm' if fundamentally racist.

"what part of Africa are you from?"

It is not gaffe but racism and bigotery.

"

Virginia should never have accepted money. It made her look as if it was just for money! She should have hauled him through the US courts had him banged up in a US max security facility with the rapists and murderers.

But Harry should also let it go.

He wanted to leave

Wanted privacy

Wanted to look forward to life with wife and kids..

Does he do any of that

No

He comes across like a spoilt sibling

Who likes the sound of his (or her)own voice

It's always full of things not not quite gelling together/contradictory

If he wants a life

He needs to stop and shut up

Look forward and move on

Taking the money instead of hauling him through the courts does "kinda" make it look like she was just after the money, just a bit.

He can, he could fuck off in to obscurity for the life of peace they apparently wanted- instead of talking to the media every 5 minutes and releasing a book, series and no doubt a bloody play and musical in the next couple of years if they can squeeze some cash out of it "

I suspect the reason he made this boast, about killing 25 people in Afghanistan, is to have his security detail, at public expense reinstated.

It seemed a rash statement to make, but their could be method in his madness.

Frankly, he seems slightly unhinged at present; he's certainly not at peace with the world or himself.

If Harry wants reconciliation with his father and brother he should first

Donate to charity every single penny he makes from books and Netflix deals

Then put a stop to any further issues being released

He wants reconciliation but still wants to slag off his family members

Parasite comes to mind.
