• Prince Harry was a target of the Taliban in Afghanistan,.
• The attack killed two American soldiers injured 17 soldiers.
• The attack was timed to coincide with his birthday.

Prince Harry is recalling one of his harrowing experiences while serving in the British army in Afghanistan.

In his memoir ‘Spare,’ the Duke of Sussex discusses becoming a target of Talibans in the region.

He writes, “Two American soldiers were killed. Seventeen British and American soldiers were injured. Throughout that day and the next we pieced together what happened. Taliban fighters had got hold of American uniforms, cut a hole in the fence, and slipped in. They cut a hole in the fence? Yep. Why? In short, me.”

The Taliban, according to Harry, are looking for him.

“They were looking for Prince Harry, they said. The Taliban actually issued a statement: Prince Harry was our target. And the date of the attack had been carefully chosen as well. They’d timed it, they proclaimed, to coincide with my birthday. I didn’t know if I believed that. I didn’t want to believe it,” Harry notes.
