Prince Harry reveals ‘biggest mistake’ of his life – nothing to do with Royal Family | Royal | News

Prince Harry has revealed what was one of his “biggest mistakes” as he thinks it sparked angry reactions. His memoir, Spare, published in 2023, offers rich information about the prince’s life. He detailed how he really felt about some of his most well-known moments.

Prince Harry says his Nazi uniform costume in 2005 was a “bad choice” and left a lasting impression on him. Harry blamed some of the blame for his infamous decision to wear a Nazi uniform at a party on his brother Prince William and sister-in-law Kate, claiming in his memoirs that they “howled with laughter” when they saw his poor choice of outfit in 2005.

But the Duke of Sussex was criticized after The Sun newspaper published a front-page photo of him wearing a German Afrika Corps uniform with a swastika on his left sleeve.

Shortly after the photo was published in the media, Harry issued an apology, saying: “I’m very sorry if I offended or embarrassed anyone. It was a poor costume choice and I apologize.”

Harry expressed regret over the Nazi uniform gaffe in the third episode of Netflix series Harry & Meghan.

Talking about the series, he said it was “probably one of the biggest mistakes of my life.”

“I was so embarrassed afterwards,” Harry continued.

He said: “All I wanted to do was to fix this. I sat down in London and talked to the Chief Rabbi and it touched me deeply.

“I went to Berlin and talked to a Holocaust survivor. I could have ignored it and made the same mistakes over and over again throughout my life. But I learned from that.”

The theme was “Natives and Colonizers” and Prince Harry was wearing “General Erwin Rommel’s Afrika Korps desert uniform,” better known as the Nazi costume.

According to reports at the time, Prince William was wearing a leopard suit with black tights, and their friend Guy was also dressed as Queen Elizabeth.
