In the highly anticipated final season of Netflix’s hit series, “The Crown,” viewers will be transported back in time to revisit a significant and controversial moment from Prince Harry’s youth. This season, scheduled to be released in two parts, promises to delve into the Duke of Sussex’s past, specifically his ill-advised decision to don a Nazi soldier costume for a costume party in 2005.
As reported by People magazine, the upcoming season will shine a spotlight on Prince Harry’s Nazi costume scandal, which became a glaring blemish on his public image during his early twenties. The portrayal of this pivotal event will be handled by actor Luther Ford, as the series takes viewers through the controversial costume choice and the ensuing media storm.
Prince Harry didn’t waste any time addressing the uproar caused by his costume. Following the party, he issued a public statement expressing remorse, saying, “I am very sorry if I caused any offense or embarrassment to anyone. It was a poor choice of costume, and I apologize.” Despite his swift apology, the incident continued to cast a shadow over his public image for years to come.
Prince Harry has revisited this unfortunate incident on multiple occasions, openly acknowledging the profound sense of shame it continues to evoke. In his Netflix documentary series with Meghan, released just last year, he candidly addressed his choice of costume, describing it as “perhaps one of the most significant mistakes in my life. I felt profound shame afterward, and my sole intention was to make amends.” This honest reflection underscores the enduring impact of this contentious episode on both his personal and public life.
Prince Harry’s memoir took his introspection a step further, as he implicated his brother, Prince William, and sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, in the controversy surrounding the costume. He detailed the episode, recalling, “I called Willy and Kate, inquiring about their thoughts. ‘Nazi uniform,’ they responded. So, I rented it, along with a comical mustache, and returned home to try it all on. Their reactions were nothing short of uproarious. It was even more ludicrous than Willy’s leotard ensemble! But that, once again, was the point.” This disclosure provides fresh insights into the dynamics within the royal family during that specific period.
