Prince Harry has been attacked by defence secretary Ben Wallace for “boasting” about how many Taliban fighters he killed while serving in Afghanistan. The government minister said the prince has “let down” his former army colleagues, with the comment in the book sparking anger from the Armed Forces.
Mr Wallace told LBC’s Nick Ferrari: “I frankly think boasting about tallies… Distorts the fact that the army is a team game. It’s a team enterprise. It’s not about who can shoot the most.
“If you start talking about who did what [you’re] letting down all those other people, because you’re not a better person because you did and they didn’t’.”
In Spare the Duke of Sussex referred to those he had killed as “chess pieces”.
