Remaining anonymous, the former soldier explains that one night the alarm of a sentry post started to sound. The soldiers present on the spot therefore tried to discover what was the origin. Terrorist attack ? Fire ? No actually, it was Prince Harry completely drunk. “He was in a terrible state. He was on the ground, drooling on himself. […] When we tried to pick him up he was uncooperative, abusive and violent. He had difficulty speaking, and it was difficult to understand him. When we tried to pick him up, he started screaming, ‘Let go of me, I don’t need any help!’”explains the former officer.
Several soldiers therefore took him back to his room, which was apparently in a terrible state. “It was like a dorm room, really messy. The bed was not made, there were clothes and socks on the floor, but also beer cans and dirty coffee cups lying around and packets of cigarettes”continues the man on condition of anonymity.
If at the time, the superiors of the soldier asked him to keep this story under wraps, the man has today decided to lift the veil on this incident, visibly annoyed by the recent revelations of the prince in his book. “It’s something you never talk regarding as a soldier. […] In addition, from a political point of view, things are just beginning to calm down with Afghanistan and terrorism. Now Harry has fanned the flames, and all that for his book is infuriating.”
