Prince Harry Suffers Backlash After Being Excluded From Sandhurst Alumni List

Prince Harry’s 2024 is not off to a great start after the latest snub by Sandhurst. The academy recently published a list of its top alumni and Harry did not make the cut, even though the list stretched to cover 200 prominent graduates.

In a move that is sure to sting, Prince William was not only selected for the list, but was given the honor of penning the book’s forward.

Former British Army Commander Richard Kemp admitted that while it was a snub, it was done for a reason.

Richard Kemp Says It’s Not A “Disappointment” Prince Harry Didn’t Make the List

Speaking on the decision to exclude Harry from the notable list, the former army commander refused to admit it was a big deal, especially since he wasn’t a particularly significant person at the military academy.

Kemp said: “I probably would have included him, on balance, but it is not a disappointment to not see him in there. I don’t think he did anything particularly notable during his service but he was certainly a significant person to go to Sandhurst.”

He added: “I suspect the recent disharmony between him and the Royal Family has led them to decide against having him. One thing he said in his book was the Army taught him to see the enemy as less than human — which is not what we were taught. That has overshadowed a lot of the great things that he has done.”

One experience that Harry has continued to treasure even after his controversial exit from the Royal Family was his time in the army.

In his book, he recalled keeping count of the Talibans he’s killed, which sparked a Backlash within the military community at the time.

In “Spare,” he wrote: “So my number: twenty-five. When I found myself plunged in the heat and confusion of combat I didn’t think of those 25 as people. They were chess pieces removed from the board. Bad people eliminated before they could kill good people.”

In other news, Richard Kemp reacted to Harry being named a “living legend of aviation,” saying, “They’re just trying to get publicity. They know it will cause a stir. I find the whole thing really rather pathetic.”

    The MEDIA especially the TABLOID ones can easily smear any person’s life especially the one’s they really despise of. The sad thing is they always used the term “Freedom of Press”…even if they go to extreme to ruin your future.
    I still don’t understand why they still splash the Sussexes that they hate in their stories. Is it because, any stories about the Sussexes means plenty of revenue for their employers and in to their pockets ? Of course. Any news about the other Royals I guess only serve a mediocre revenue for their company. It all comes to money they can accumulate and yet accuse the Sussexes of using their titles to acquire income. REALLY ??
