Prince Harry has blamed Prince William and sister-in-law Kate Middleton for his notorious appearance at a costume party sporting a Nazi uniform in 2005.
The Duke of Sussex said in his new memoir – where he’s expected to describe resigning from royal responsibilities along with his wife Meghan Markle – they both thought it was amusing.
Harry claims he was considering either the Nazi livery or a pilot’s outfit for a ‘Native and Colonial’ themed event and called his brother and sister-in-law for their opinion.
According to Harry he called William and Kate and asked what they thought, and they both howled that it was worse than Willy’s leotard ensemble, way more absurd, which again was the point.
The outfit became a massive disgrace when Harry, then 20, was snapped sporting the Nazi regalia.
The story made international headlines after a picture of then-20-year-old Harry in uniform was featured on the front page of a newspaper outlet.
The Duke of Sussex wore the Nazi uniform at a bash thrown by Olympic show jumper Richard Meade.
The theme of the event held to celebrate the birthday of Richard Mead’s son Harry was native and colonial.
Richard Mead’s son Harry sported a desert uniform of General Erwin Rommel’s Afrika Korps. Earlier in the evening he’d worn an army-style jacket with a German banner on the arm.
Harry had arrived with his elder brother Prince William, who reportedly dressed in a skin-tight black leotard with a leopardskin print and a matching leopardskin tail and paws.
One guest told a newspaper outlet that if this was his idea of a joke then it went down like a lead balloon.
Harry issued a grovelling apology soon after the picture was publicised.
He said he was extremely sorry if he’d caused any offence or embarrassment to anyone and that it was a poor choice of ensemble and he apologised.
Harry had previously addressed the incident in his new Netflix series that dressing as a Nazi was one of the biggest blunders of his life.
The Duke of Sussex voiced remorse for his 2005 indiscretion, speaking in the third episode of his and his wife Meghan Markle’s new Netflix show.
Harry voiced his remorse and said that all he wanted to do was make it right.
Harry wasn’t exactly blaming them, he was more like saying that they encouraged him, and now people are furious at Harry, but not so angry with William and Kate – extremely interesting!
Although Harry was an adult and he made the choice, he could have just taken another dress option but decided not to, and it was an appalling choice, but some of us in our teens make terrible choices, he’s not foolproof, he’s a human being.
But then if his brother told him to leap off a bridge, would he have done it? Of course, he wouldn’t have!
Harry had the best schooling money could buy, yet he had to ask his brother whether he should wear a Nazi uniform to a fancy dress party. He was 20 years old, not 12 years old, but then, let’s face it, even some 20-year-olds still act like they’re only 12 years old, and clearly, Harry never paid any attention in his history lessons or for any other for that matter.
The problem with running to the press and Netflix just shows Harry’s jealousy towards his brother William who will one day inherit the family business, and numerous people believe that Harry would make an extremely unsuitable King anyhow, although, on the other hand, he does appear to have some very useful skills to become a King.
