A former royal close protection officer has warned that are real fears for Prince Harry and the security of his family after the Taliban have “changed the profile risk.”
This comes after Harry said, “I didn’t think about those as 25 people. You can’t kill people if you see them as people.”
He then described those he killed in Afghanistan as “chess pieces taken off the board, bad guys eliminated before they kill good guys.”
Not only are there fears for Prince Harry’s safety, but also other members of the Royal Family after the Taliban accused him of being a “war criminal.”
Speaing of the potential renewed security threat to Harry and the Royals since, former royal close protection officer Simon Morgan told GB News, “It certainly has changed the profile of that risk.
