From playing games of strip pool and cavorting with Olympic stars to receiving death threats. Such is the life of a Royal. The Afghan Taliban says that it’s doing everything in its power to kidnap or kill the U.K.’s Prince Harry, reports Reuters. Queen Elizabeth’s grandson arrived in Afghanistan last week to fly attack helicopters as part of a four-month tour.

“We are using all our strength to get rid of him, either by killing or kidnapping,” Zabihullah Mujahid, a Taliban spokesman, told Reuters. “We have informed our commanders in Helmand to do whatever they can to eliminate him” as part of what he called the “Harry operations.”
