The Duke of Sussex has described wearing a Nazi outfit as "one of the biggest mistakes" of his life, and said he was "ashamed" of himself. The Prince had to apologise in 2005 for wearing a swastika armband to a friend's fancy dress party.
Clarence House issued a statement in response to a photograph published on the front page of the Sun newspaper under the headline, "Harry the Nazi". It read at the time: "Prince Harry has apologised for any offence or embarrassment he has caused. He realises it was a poor choice of costume."
Talking about the incident in episode three of the new Harry & Meghan documentary on Netflix, he said: "It was one of the biggest mistakes of my life. I felt so ashamed afterwards.
"All I wanted to do was make it right. I sat down and spoke to the Chief Rabbi in London, which had a profound impact on me. I went to Berlin and meet a Holocaust survivor. I could have just ignored it and got on making the same mistakes again and again in my life, but I have learnt from that." Read out live updates as the new show is released here.
Meanwhile, the Duchess of Sussex said the media would find a way to "destroy" her "no matter how good" she was. Episode two of the Harry & Meghan six-part Netflix docuseries appeared to link the EU referendum to a "culture war" in the UK at the time of their engagement in 2017.
Speaking about the press coverage of her, Meghan said: "At that point, I was still very much believing what I was being told, which was 'it will pass it will get better, it's just what they do right at the very beginning'. This promise of 'once you're married, don't worry, it'll get better, once they get used to you it'll get better, of course it'll get better'.
"But truth be told, no matter how hard I tried, no matter how good I was, no matter what I did, they were still going to find a way to destroy me," Meghan added.
