Prince Harry shot at Taliban insurgents during his time as an Army helicopter pilot in Afghanistan, he says.

The prince, whose five-month deployment to the country has just ended, spoke about his role as an Apache co-pilot gunner, and whether he had killed.Yeah, so lots of people have. The squadron's been out here. Everyone's fired a certain amount," he said."If there's people trying to do bad stuff to our guys, then we'll take them out of the game."

Prince Harry left Afghanistan on Monday. News teams were allowed to interview him during his deployment, if they agreed to delay broadcast until he had left the country.As well as discussing his role in Afghanistan, he talked about various other issues, including that he had "let my family down" when he was pictured naked in a Las Vegas hotel room last year.

He said this was "probably a classic example of me probably being too much Army and not enough prince."But he added: "But at the end of the day I was in a private area and there should have been a certain amount of privacy that one should expect."Prince Harry gives a tour of his Apache helicopterHe also talked about:

how being in Afghanistan is "as normal as it's going to get" for him, and even though "everyone has a good old gawp" in the canteen, "I'm one of the guys, I don't get treated any differently."how for him and his brother, Prince William, "our service towards our country in the military... will always come first"how he "can't wait to be an uncle", but hoped the Duchess of Cambridge would be allowed privacy during her pregnancy, adding: "I think it's very unfair that they were forced to publicise it when they were, but that's just the media for you."

On his role in Afghanistan, one journalist said: "You are the man with the trigger in your hand, and if called upon, you will fire, and presumably you have and you will kill the enemy?"The prince responded: "Yeah, so lots of people have. The squadron's been out here. Everyone's fired a certain amount. Probably a little bit more than this time last year, to a certain extent, but that's just the way that its balanced out. Mainly due to weather, well whatever the reasons, I don't know.
