Prince Harry believed he would ‘die’ of shame after disappointing Britons with his Nazi outfit.
The Duke of Sussex, who decided to put on the uniform for a costume party with Prince William back in2005, was vilified for his fashion choice.
Expressing his feelings of guilt from the time, Harry writes: “I felt that I deserved to be engulfed. There were moments over the course of the next several weeks and months when I thought I might die of shame. The typical response to the photos was: What could he have been thinking? The simplest answer was: I wasn’t. When I saw those photos, I recognized immediately that my brain had been shut off, that perhaps it had been shut off for some time.”
Harry adds: “I wanted to go around Britain knocking on doors, explaining to people: I wasn’t thinking. I meant no harm. But it wouldn’t have made any difference. Judgment was swift, harsh. I was either a crypto Nazi or else a mental defective.”
