‘His whole life is an incredible story. So, it's fascinating that he's actually willing to open up and tell it himself’: New Yorkers grab a copy of Prince Harry's memoir, ‘Spare,’ as it officially goes on sale
LONDON, Jan 11 - Prince Harry has hit back at "hurtful" responses to his record-selling memoir, saying he was particularly upset by the "lie" he had boasted that he had killed 25 people in Afghanistan when serving as a military helicopter pilot.
In his book "Spare", King Charles's younger son recounts his two tours of Afghanistan, first as a forward air controller in 2007/08 and again in 2012, when he was a co-pilot gunner in Apache attack helicopters, andBritish newspapers, who he heavily criticises in his book, and some senior former British military figures have attacked his decision to make public the figure of those he had killed, saying it could put him and others at risk of reprisals.
Speaking to U.S. chat show host Stephen Colbert on "The Late Show", he said he had only done so to reduce the number of suicides by military veterans.A staff member arranges Britain's Prince Harry's autobiography 'Spare' at Waterstones bookstore, in London, Britain January 10, 2023.
"I made a choice to share it because having spent nearly two decades working with veterans all around the world, I think the most important thing is to be honest and be able to give space to others to be able to share their experiences without any shame."UK's fastest selling non-fiction book ever and its intimate personal revelations about his life and other royals, and his accusations about how they had worked with a hostile press, have dominated the British media for days.Reporting by Michael Holden; Editing by Conor Humphries
