Prince Harry snubbed by British Army’s book on notable soldiers as brother William writes foreword
“They Also Served: 200 People Who Trained At Sandhurst,” mentions 200 names of soldiers who served at Sandhurst — which Harry did — the exiled royal ultimately did not make the cut.Former British Army Commander Richard Kemp has spoken out about the apparent snub, saying he understands why Harry’s name was left out of the list.“I completely understand why he has not been included,” he told The Sun. “I probably would have included him on balance, but it is not a disappointment to not see him in there.”Kemp told the outlet that “recent disharmony” between the two camps likely played a part in keeping Harry’s name out of the book.“I don’t think he did anything particularly notable during his service but he was certainly a significant person to go to Sandhurst,” Kemp added.The father of two famously spoke of his time in the army in his protocol-shattering memoir, “Spare,” in which he called his victims “chess pieces taken off a board, bad guys eliminated before they kill the good guys.”Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams believes Harry shouldn’t be surprised over the snub, citing his comments that he “boasted” over the killings.“Behavior such as listing the number of individuals you personally killed makes it pretty clear why he’s not in it,” Fitzwilliams told Geo News.
