Excerpts from Prince Harry’s memoir ‘Spare’, scheduled to hit bookstores worldwide on January 10, have racked up controversies with the Duke of Sussex revealing intimate details of the royal family. However, one passage from the book has landed the erstwhile prince into hot waters himself. Social media is calling Prince Harry “racist and violent” after the revelation that he has killed over 25 Afghans and feels neither satisfaction nor shame. In the book, the Prince wrote that the “insurgents” he killed were like pieces on a chessboard.
The full passage can be read below:
The (alleged) actual part of Harry’s book where he mentions how many people he killed in Afghanistan. It’s hardly the ‘Jay from The Inbetweeners’ bragging fest that is being portrayed in the press and on social media. pic.twitter.com/pupu0fnlLY

Social media users were deeply shocked by this revelation, and how little attention is being given in the media to these racist comments.
Prince Harry admits to killing 25 people in Afghanistan but who cares; he fought his evil family for his hot biracial wife. What a noble cutie.

#Harry says biggest mistake of his life was wearing a Nazi party costume. Not killing 25 people in Afghanistan (v. often civilians were killed in these ops!) For those celebrating his anti-racism, what does it mean if you don’t criticise an imperial war? https://t.co/tLmRcE5x5h pic.twitter.com/9PeoZAUgBs
