Harry quick to address Taliban controversy during his appearance on late night talk show, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

Harry, Duke of Sussex, has revealed the extent of his unhappiness regarding details in his book, Spare, on the number of Taliban soldiers he killed during his military stint. Harry was a helicopter pilot in Afghanistan and was deployed twice from 2007 to 2008 and then again from 2012 to 2013.

In his book, Harry ‘detailed’ the exact number of Taliban fighters he killed (25), and referred to those fighters as ‘chess pieces.’ The admission has led to members of the Taliban calling for Harry to stand trial for war crimes and became one of the biggest talking points after excerpts of the book leaked to media before its official release on Tuesday.
