Prince Harry inspires sculpture filled with human blood donated by Afghans

Controversial quotes by Prince Harry have inspired a sculpture filled with human blood. The sculpture, featuring blood donated by Afghan refugees, is to be projected by a Russian artist on to St Paul's Cathedral along with footage of the Duke of Sussex.

Sky News reports that Andrei Molodkin's projection is a protest over Prince Harry's controversial remarks about the number of people he killed in Afghanistan. The Duke of Sussex faced criticism for revealing in his memoir that he killed 25 Taliban fighters while serving in Afghanistan, writing that it was "not a number that fills me with satisfaction, but nor does it embarrass me".

The prince also admitted that he did not think of those he killed as "people", but instead as "chess pieces" that had to be taken off the board. Mr Molodkin told Sky News that Harry's comment had made him "very, very angry" and the idea of his project "is to drench St Paul's Cathedral in the blood of Afghani people".
