Prince Harry has tarnished his reputation with remarks about killing Taliban fighters in Afghanistan, a former British commander says. 

In his memoir, the Duke of Sussex describes his 25 kills as “chess pieces removed from the board”.

Ex-army officer colonel Richard Kemp told the BBC Harry’s comments were “ill-judged”. 

He added the remarks may have undermined his own security and could provoke people to take revenge.
