Prince Harry Claims Prince William and Princess Kate Told Him to Wear Nazi Uniform in 2005, Laughed at the Costume

usmagazine.com:

Another royal bombshell. Prince Harry claimed in his new memoir that Prince William and Princess Kate encouraged him to wear the infamous Nazi uniform he donned at a 2005 costume party.The Duke of Sussex, 38 — who called the decision to wear the uniform “one of the biggest mistakes of my life” in his 2022 Netflix docuseries, Harry & Meghan — recalled picking out the offensive garb in his upcoming memoir, Spare.“I went up and down the rows, sifting through the racks, seeing nothing I liked.

With time running out I narrowed my options to two. A British pilot’s uniform. And a sand-colored Nazi uniform. With a swastika armband.

And a flat cap,” Harry wrote in the book, which will be released on Tuesday, January 10. “I phoned Willy and Kate, asked what they thought.

Nazi uniform, they said. I rented it, plus a silly mustache, and went back to the house. I tried it all on. They both howled.”The Archewell cofounder — who called his future sister-in-law “carefree, sweet, kind” when remembering the early days of her romance with William, 40 — recalled that his brother wore “some kind of … feline outfit” to the party, a costume that was made up of a “skintight leotard” and a “springy, bouncy tail.” Harry noted that he and Kate, 40, “had a great time pointing our fingers at him and rolling around on the floor.”Harry claimed the Prince and Princess of Wales thought his Nazi costume was “worse than Willy’s leotard outfit” and “way more ridiculous!” but that was “the point [of the costume party].”Harry, who was 20 at the time, apologized for his “poor choice of costume” in a statement soon after photos from the party were leaked. “I am very sorry if I caused any offense or embarrassment to anyone,” he said in a January 2005 statement.
