Prince Harry reflects on infamous Nazi costume scandal

Twenty years ago, Prince Harry found himself at the centre of a scandal when an unusual photo of him appeared on the front pages of newspapers. He posed in a Nazi uniform, the consequences of which he still feels today. Meghan Markle's husband admitted in the Netflix documentary that he didn't realize his choice would cause such a stir. At the time, he issued a statement apologizing for his mistake.

I am very sorry if I have caused any offense or embarrassment to anyone. It was a poor choice of costume and I apologise - he explained.

After the incident, Prince Harry met with the Chief Rabbi of London and a Holocaust survivor, an encounter which had a significant impact on him. The visit to Berlin and conversations with people affected by the tragedy of World War II helped him understand the gravity of his mistake. The prince emphasized that even if someone acts unknowingly, they have an obligation to rectify the harm done.

In the documentary, Prince Harry noted that the incident from years ago was an important experience and a source of deep learning for him. He emphasized that anyone who understands the reasons for their mistakes should strive to correct them. This event became a lesson in responsibility and understanding for him. The situation was portrayed in the series "The Crown".

Recently, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle focused on helping those affected by the fires in California. The couple visited Pasadena, talking to volunteers and the mayor. Actress Justine Bateman called them "disaster tourists" after their visit to California during the fires, suggesting they were only looking for publicity.

Despite the criticism, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle emphasized their ties to California, where Meghan was born, highlighting the authenticity of their actions. They responded to accusations of a "set-up," arguing that their help was not just a media show but a genuine, long-term initiative.
