It looks like Prince Harry’s past is coming back to haunt him, as the Duke’s self-confessed “biggest mistake” of his life will be repeated in the upcoming sixth season of Netflix’s hit series The Crown.
The Duke of Sussex’s character will be seen wearing a Nazi uniform in the final season of The Crown, according to a new report.
In an interview, a Netflix insider revealed that one of Prince Harry’s self-confessed “biggest mistakes” will be remade for the sixth and final season of The Crown.
The moment, which Prince Harry has previously described as “one of the biggest mistakes of my life”, was the night Harry, then 20, attended a “native and colonial” fancy dress themed party, where he dressed as a member of the organisation. Rommel’s Afrika Korps.
A stray costume saw King Charles’ youngest son wear a red armband with a swastika symbol on his arm, a choice that the media headlined two days later in January 2005 as “Harry is a Nazi”.
Following the 2005 reports, the royal family quickly issued an apology on behalf of the young prince, who until recently rarely spoke publicly about the incident.
Harry then said briefly, “I’ve learned my lesson. If I’ve offended anyone, I’m sorry. I want to put it in the past now. It’s done. I’m sorry. Maybe it’s a sign of my immaturity. I’ll never do anything like that again. It was stupid.” .
This was recently raised in his and Meghan’s six-part docu-series on the streaming service, in which the Duke described his “embarrassment” about the suit.
Harry described the moment in the documentary as “one of the biggest mistakes” of his life. He said: “It was probably one of the biggest mistakes of my life. I was very embarrassed afterwards. I wanted to fix that.”
“It’s one of the most embarrassing things in Harry’s life and he said it in December. “The older generation will remember The Sun’s ‘Harry the Nazi’ story and photo, but this past episode in Harry’s life may be news to many young Netflix viewers,” a Netflix insider told The Sun.
“Harry has recently made statements about racism in the UK and the unconscionable attitude of the royal family on Netflix. It is ironic that Netflix is bringing up this story,” they added.
