Prince Harry explains why wrote about killing Taliban fighters during his military service -- telling Colbert he aimed to reduce veteran suicides.
"I'm not gonna lie, the last few days have been hurtful and challenging," he said."Without a doubt, the most dangerous lie that they have told, is that I somehow boasted about the number of people I killed in Afghanistan."
Harry continued,"If I heard anybody boasting about that kind of thing, I would be angry -- but it's a lie. And hopefully, now that the book is out, people will be able to see the context. It's really troubling and very disturbing that they can get away with it." Doubling down, Harry explained that his"words are not dangerous," but the spin on his words is"very dangerous."
Colbert then brings up the fact that Harry had already previously admitted to killing Afghani insurgents. To which Harry explained, “Almost ten years to the day my face was splattered all over the front pages because someone asked me the question, while I was still in Afghanistan, if I had killed anybody from an attack helicopter. And I said ‘yes,’” Harry said.
Harry shared that he believed writing about his military experience would help aid veterans who have gone through similar, traumatizing experiences.
