Prince Harry has admitted wearing a Nazi uniform to a fancy dress party in 2005 was “one of the biggest mistakes of my life”.
The Duke of Sussex spoke about the incident in Volume I of his new docuseries Harry & Meghan, which joined Netflix this morning.
In episode three of the show, he says: “It was probably one of the biggest mistakes of my life. I felt so ashamed afterwards. All I wanted to do was make it right.”
The photos of Harry in the uniform, along with a swastika armband, made headlines at the time.
Clarence House later issued a statement which read: “Prince Harry has apologised for any offence or embarrassment he has caused. He realises it was a poor choice of costume.”
In the docuseries, Harry says he spoke to the Chief Rabbi in London after the incident, which had a “profound” impact on him.
He also went to Berlin and spoke to a holocaust survivor.
“I could have got on and ignored it and made the same mistakes over and over in my life… but I learnt from that,” he adds.
Volume I of Harry & Meghan is available to stream on Netflix now, and Volume II will join the streaming giant on December 15.
