Prince Harry is feeling bad about one of the biggest mistakes he made during his teenage years.
The Duke of Sussex attended a costume party two decades ago, where his choice of outfit — a Nazi uniform — sparked widespread outrage and controversy.
The incident forced King Charles’ official office, Clarence House, to issue a formal apology at the time.
Although the incident took place years ago, Harry revisited the issue in his explosive Netflix documentary alongside his wife, Meghan Markle, publicly taking responsibility for his actions.
“It was probably one of the biggest mistakes of my life. I felt so embarrassed afterwards.”
He continued: “I just wanted to get it right. I spoke to the chief rabbi in London. I went to Berlin and spoke to a Holocaust survivor.”
Harry apologized in a statement shortly after the 2005 incident, saying, “I am very sorry if I have offended or embarrassed anyone.
Prince Harry’s reflection on the incident shows his willingness to acknowledge and learn from his past mistakes.
By resolving conflicts openly, they not only seek personal growth but also set an example of accountability and the importance of owning up to one’s mistakes.
