The Crown – Season 6 Part 2: Official trailer<\/h3>\n

The Crown has addressed Prince Harry\u2019s shameful Nazi fancy dress from 2005 in its final ever episode. The much-documented incident saw the now Duke of Sussex, who was then 20, turn up to a “native and colonial” themed fancy dress party, hosted by Olympic showjumper Richard Meade, dressed in a shirt bearing a swastika.<\/p>\n

In the award-winning Netflix show William (played by Ed McVey), Harry (Luther Ford) and Kate (Meg Bellamy) are seen in a costume shop with some friends selecting outfits for the party. Harry is having difficulty deciding what to dress as until he suddenly sees the famously \u201cshameful\u201d costume of the Afrika Korps uniform, with a swastika at the sleeve.<\/p>\n

\u201cGermany had an empire, didn’t they?\u201d He enquires. \u201cWhat about this?\u201d While Kate is shown to be tentative and suggests that he at least cover the swastika, William encourages his brother.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, come on. Wearing the outfit doesn’t make him a Nazi. Isn’t that the joke?” He says as a gleeful Harry does the Heil Hitler salute in a mirror. The scene also sees Harry cheekily suggest that Kate wear a wedding dress costume, quipping that she must have already thought of it.<\/p>\n

The show then cuts to the scene which shows how Harry got photographed in the offensive outfit. He initially has the sleeves covered up with another jacket at the party and no one is any the wiser.<\/p>\n

However later, while someone dressed as Queen Elizabeth II sings I Want To Break Free by the rock band Queen, he takes it off – much to the shock of two guests in the audience.<\/p>\n

They snap a picture on their phones, which is the same image that was broadcast around the world the following day.<\/p>\n

In the aftermath, Harry rows with his father over the picture and, in scenes that mirror what the Duke wrote about the incident in his memoir Spare, he lashes out at William.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou were all for the uniform, egging me on. Suddenly you’re Mr Morality. Stabbing me in the back… how many faces does this man have?\u201d he asks.<\/p>\n
