Prince Harry snubbed by British Army’s book on notable soldiers, brother William writes foreword

Prince Harry’s name is nowhere to be found in the British Army’s new book on notable soldiers.

The Duke of Sussex, 39, was sensationally snubbed from military academy Sandhurst’s guide to its most notable alumni — despite his brother Prince William writing the foreword in the book.

While the book, titled “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. “Personally, I don’t think he’ll be that surprised.”

Harry also said that he did not feel “ashamed” for his actions because he’d been conditioned by the military to not feel anything.

“You can’t kill people if you see them as people,” he wrote in his memoir, released in Jan. 2023. “They trained me to ‘other’ them, and they trained me well.”

After major backlash, he’s since slammed the “dangerous spin” that he “boasted” about killing 25 Taliban fighters in Afghanistan, instead condemning it as a “dangerous lie.”

The author of the book, Vaughan Kent-Payne, insists that “not everybody who trained [there] was a good egg” — although he did not mention names.

The book does contain one reference to Harry, however, and it’s in William’s entry.

“His status as a future king meant that he could not be deployed on operations like his younger brother, Harry,” the heir to the throne wrote.
