Harry served with the Parachute Regiment, underwent selection for 14 Intelligence Company, and completed six years with the SAS, including two tours with their anti-terrorism team. He received two commendations for bravery during service with the Royal Ulster Constabulary. Thus he is uniquely placed to tell us this astonishing story.
