Two decades ago, Prince Harry found himself at the centre of a scandal when an unusual photo of him made the front pages. 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 had no idea his choice would cause such a stir. At the time, he issued a statement apologising 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 recounted.

Following the incident, Prince Harry met with the Chief Rabbi of London and a Holocaust survivor, which had a profound impact on him. The visit to Berlin and conversations with those affected by the tragedy of World War II helped him understand the gravity of his mistake. The Prince emphasised that even if someone acts unknowingly, they have an obligation to repair the harm caused.

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 emphasised 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 depicted in the series "The Crown."

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry help those affected in California

Recently, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have focused on helping those affected by the wildfires in California. The couple visited Pasadena, speaking with volunteers and the mayor. Actress Justine Bateman called them "disaster tourists" after their visit to California during the wildfires, suggesting that they are solely seeking attention.

Despite the criticism, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle emphasised their connections to California, where Meghan was born, stressing the authenticity of their actions. They responded to accusations of "staging," arguing that their help was not merely a media exercise, but a genuine, long-term initiative.
