Prince Harry’s Taliban kill claim could help ex-soldiers, psychologists say

‘Considering the countless traumas Harry and Meghan have experienced, it is important he has talked so candidly about struggling to cope,’ psychologist says

Some traumatised ex-soldiers may be helped by Prince Harry’s revelations about how he killed 25 people in Afghanistan, according to psychologists.

They say speaking out about what he has gone through, the Duke of Sussex is “validating” his feelings.

The prince writes in his newly published memoir, Spare, that he killed 25 Taliban fighters while serving as a soldier in Afghanistan – but in interviews has denied “boasting” about it, saying that was “very dangerous spin”.
