Harry’s excruciating Taliban killing claim hasn’t just created a security nightmare – it’s a blunder his reputation will never recover from
Dailymail.com ^ | 6 January 2023 | Andrew neill

Among the many incendiary claims in Spare, Prince Harry's upcoming memoir, the boast that he killed 25 Taliban while serving as an Army helicopter pilot in Afghanistan will do him the most long-term damage by far.

I doubt he will recover from it.

Most of the revelations in his book amount to a further public airing of his family's dirty laundry, an endeavour to which he and wife Meghan have devoted their lives since running off in a huff to California. Jaw-dropping as some of them are, their real import serves merely to confirm what most had already concluded about Harry.

Blaming William Kate for encouraging him to dress up as a Nazi for a fancy-dress party in 2005 illustrates his repeated failure to take responsibility for his own stupid actions and reinforces his default position that, no matter his own culpability, he is always the victim.

...he's also breached the long-standing convention among British military veterans of all ranks that they don't talk much about the wars they waged, and never about 'kills'.

Just why Harry decided to flout that convention is best known to himself.

Former Army officers, including those who'd served with him in Afghanistan, are speaking out against what he has said. But I found the testimony of civilians whose fathers and grandfathers had fought in various wars even more telling.

When news broke of Harry's 'kill' claim, I tweeted: 'My father was in uniform against the Nazis for six years. Never once in his long life did he ever talk to me about killing the enemy. Even the concept, much less numbers. And he was at Alamein. On the ground. Not in a helicopter.'

...Harry has placed a large target not just on his own back but on his family's and even his neighbours' backs.

“Prince” Harry is the poster boy for why you don’t want your sons to hook up with liberal women.

How will he “never recover”?. It’s dumb of him but who cares? It’s blowing up on social media and will be forgotten quickly like most things. Plus he’s rich what does he care? He does need to zip it though. And bang that wife while she’s still letting him.

I don’t believe it because he has bragged about it. If he had said nothing about it then yes, I may have believed that he had done it.

Yes, but it is all worth it to him, because he is getting ATTENTION. He is addicted to it.

Be surprised if he is able to visit London again for a long, long time
Lots of radical muzz

Even nonradical muzz are not going to be seen with him, Mayor Khan being somewhat sympatico

The entire Royal Family has now been put at security risk of a revenge attack

Good news is…his partner Megan is also toast imo

Oh yeah, he’s a killer and she’s a loving mother and wife to her badass husband. HA!

She told him to say he kilt 25, because 25 is not too low and not too high so as to convince everyone she didn’t marry a soft empath with low boundaries she can easily control and throw everyone off her scent.

...and she views the kids as necessary INCONVENIENCE to convince everyone she’s a motherly soul with a heart of gold. It’s carbon black and pure evil.

How can she possibly manage her scam and pay any attention to those “drooling pooping monsters”. Outside of carefully choreographed photo ops, they are with their nanny(s).

Harry’s a spare alright, HER SPARE.

Wait until he loses it all and she leaves while he’s in the tub signing “I’m picking out a thermos for you”.

When even his crazy family doesn't want anything to do with him, you know he is truly bad news. His mulatto wife likes to stir the broth too. Make him King of St. Helena, on condition that he never leaves.

I wonder how many members of royalty have not been narcissists?

Yep. I would advise Harry to dole out his secrets more carefully. Because once he’s got nothing more to expose, he’ll be forgotten like an old silent-movie star. And we can’t have that, can we?
