Royal Family LIVE: ‘Money is tight’ for Harry and ‘breadwinner’ Meghan | Royal | News

Prince Harry has spoken out against the rise in antisemitic violence across Britain, describing it as “deeply disturbing” and referencing his own notorious past after he was photographed wearing a Nazi uniform more than two decades ago.

The Duke of Sussex made the intervention in a column published in The New Statesman; where he condemned what he called “deadly violence” against Jewish communities in Manchester and London and warned that silence in the face of hatred would lead to “hate and extremism flourishing unchecked”.

Harry acknowledged his own “past mistakes” in the piece; this was a reference to the scandal that broke out in January 2005, when, at the age of 20, she was photographed wearing Nazi garb at a fancy dress party. The article comes 20 years after these images first appeared.

The duke was careful to distinguish between “legitimate protest” and the targeting of Jewish communities, insisting that the two should never be confused. He wrote: “Nothing, whether criticism of a government or the reality of violence and destruction, justifies hostility towards an entire people or faith.”
