Prominent Taliban member Anas Haqqani tweeted 'Mr. Harry! The ones you killed were not chess pieces, they were humans.'
LONDON — In a book full of startling revelations, Prince Harry's assertion that he killed 25 people in Afghanistan is one of the most striking — and has drawn criticism from both enemies and allies.
But his decision to put a number on those he killed, and the comparison to chess pieces, drew outrage from the Taliban, and concern from British veterans. In Britain, some veterans and military leaders said publishing a head count violated an unspoken military code. Others said Harry's words could increase the security risk for him and for British forces around the world.
Harry lost his publicly funded U.K. police protection when he and his wife Meghan quit royal duties in 2020. Harry is suing the British government over its refusal to let him pay personally for police security when he comes to Britain.
