“He Went to Afghanistan for a Photo Opportunity”: Prince Harry’s Claim of Killing 25 Taliban Fighters Invites Criticism From UFC Legend

Prince Harry has come out with his autobiography ‘Spare’, which is making headlines ever since the day of its publication. In this book, the Duke of Sussex has dived into some very personal realm of his life. It mentions his time growing up in the Royal Family, the shades of being a Prince, and his troubled relationships with the family. However, what grabbed the most eyeballs was his revelation of his time serving in the military. Prince Harry served in the British army for a decade and during this period and made a sensational claim to have achieved something of high valor. According to the 38-year-old Royal entity, he’s killed 25 of the trained Taliban fighters during his service in the military. And as impressive as it sounds, UFC legend Jake Shields isn’t believing it.

Instead, Shields thinks that Prince Harry had a completely different purpose during his time in Afghanistan. Although it’s not just the UFC legend, there are several others who couldn’t accept these claims for a fact. But that’s what occurred, as per Prince Harry.

UFC legend suggests a different reality to Prince Harry’s big claims

The 43-year-old wrote, “He went to Afghanistan for a photo opportunity”. Sheilds holds a reputation for calling individuals out on things they do that he finds dubious, and he didn’t ‘spare’ Prince Harry with it either.

However, the Duke of Sussex is proud of his valorous act and strongly asserts that he achieved it rather skillfully, too.

Prince Harry committed himself to the ‘purpose’

Although Prince Harry’s claim of eliminating a staggering 25 Taliban fighters may seem to be some hard fact to gulp, in his book ‘Spare‘, the Royal entity recounts doing it while still being intact.

In his autobiography, the Duke of Sussex wrote, “I made it my purpose, from day one, to never go to bed with any doubt whether I had done the right thing… whether I had shot at Taliban and only Taliban, without civilians in the vicinity. I wanted to return to Great Britain with all my limbs, but more than that I wanted to get home with my conscience intact,”

Talking about how he feels about it, Prince Harry further stated, “So my number is 25. It’s not a number that fills me with satisfaction, but nor does it embarrass me.”
