Prince Harry has described wearing a Nazi uniform to a costume party in 2005 as “one of the biggest mistakes of my life.”
In the third episode of the Netflix limited series “Harry and Meghan,” released Thursday morning, the royal expressed regret for his clothing selection, saying he “felt so ashamed afterwards.”
“It was probably one of the biggest mistakes I’ve ever made in my life.” “I felt so ashamed afterwards,” the prince admitted.
Prince Harry, who was 20 at the time, arrived at a party in London dressed as a nazi soldier with a red armband inscribed with a large swastika.
Discussing the fallout after the world caught wind of the then 20-year-old’s costume, Prince Harry said, “All I wanted to do was make it right.”
The royal teen was ordered by his father Prince Charles to do a multitude of things to help mitigate his actions, including visiting Poland’s infamous Nazi death camp Auschwitz and watching ‘Schindler’s List,’ The Post reported in 2005.
Prince Harry also shared that he spoke with the Chief Rabbi in London, saying that his visit had “a profound impact on me.”
“I could’ve just ignored it and probably made the same mistakes over and over again in my life, but I learned from that,” the prince said.
