“An excerpt from the Spanish version of Spare, which accidentally went on sale in Spain, has been obtained by The Daily Telegraph.
In it, Prince Harry writes about how he watched each "kill" when he returned to base and described the insurgents as “baddies eliminated before they could kill goodies”.
It is not possible to kill someone “if you see them as a person”, he says, but the Army had “trained me to ‘other’ them and they had trained me well.”
The Mirror The Guardian CNBC
I know the Royals have become media fodder, particularly from the rags, yet this new book by Harry seems to only throw fuel on the fire. It’s clear that he has decided to blow up bridges, create a media firestorm in the UK, alienating many along the way. Obviously, Royalty — on any level — shouldn’t exist, and I don’t care all that much about the royal image, but has Harry lost the plot a bit?
Genuinely asking, too. I can see things from his perspective a bit — the resentment he must have, the feeling of being wronged by his family, must be powerful. To fall in love, only to have that love questioned, is something that would piss me off. At the same time, I thought he wanted a new life. This is salacious crap that will only enflame the raggedy press, and it’s all for money. And unless there are real revelations in that book — the kind that could bring down the royals — he will end up looking bad.
