'Viewed them as chess pieces': Prince Harry reveals he killed 25 Taliban members in his memoir 'Spare'

In his recently released memoir, Prince Harry has revealed that he killed at least 25 Taliban members during his two deployments in Afghanistan. In the book, he describes these individuals as "chess pieces" that needed to be eliminated and admits that he did not view them as human beings at the time. This confession has been met with criticism from the Taliban, who have referred to Harry's actions as "war crimes" and condemned his statements.

Taliban condemns Prince Harry's revelation

The Taliban's interim administration released a statement on the matter, with a leader named Anas Haqqani writing on Twitter, "Mr. Harry! The ones you killed were not chess pieces, they were humans; they had families who were waiting for their return. Among the killers of Afghans, not many have your decency to reveal their conscience and confess to their war crimes." This statement has prompted a response from national and international media, particularly in light of the Taliban's history of human rights violations and the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan.

A few army veterans criticised his revelation.

Prince Harry has claimed that he was responsible for killing 25 people, during his second tour of Afghanistan.

He made the claim in his book “SPARE”.

No respectful Service Person or Veteran will share these details, it is certainly nothing to be proud of, or ever mentioned.

In addition to his statement about killing at least 25 Taliban members during his military deployments in Afghanistan, Prince Harry's upcoming memoir, "Spare," also includes details about his personal life. According to reports, the book includes a revelation about Harry's loss of virginity in a field behind a pub to an older woman who treated him like "a young stallion." This alleged incident took place in 2001 when Harry was a student at Eton, at the age of 17.
