Britain's Prince Harry apologizes after pictured in Nazi uniform

LONDON (AFP) - Britain's Prince Harry apologized after he was pictured on the front page of The Sun newspaper in a Nazi soldier's uniform which he wore to a fancy dress party.

Thursday's edition of the Sun features Prince Harry, younger son of Britain's Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana, wearing the uniform with an armband showing a swastika, emblem of the Nazi Party.
A spokeswoman for the royal family who was contacted by AFP read a statement of apology.
"I am very sorry if I caused any offense or embarrassment to anyone. It was a poor choice of costume and I apologize," Prince Harry said in the statement.
A source close to the royal family said the party took place sometime after January 1.
Doug Henderson, Labour MP for Newcastle upon Tyne North and a former armed forces minister, said Prince Harry should not now be allowed to become a British Army officer.
"After the revelations this evening I don't think this young man is suitable for Sandhurst," the army officer training school, he said.
"If it was anyone else the application wouldn't be considered. It should be withdrawn immediately," he said.
The Board of Deputies of British Jews welcomed the apology, according to Sky television.
"We're gratified that the prince has apologized. The incident was in bad taste, especially in the runup to the holocaust memorial day, which the royal family will play a leading role in commemorating," it said.
Holocaust memorial day is marked on January 27, the day in 1945 when the Soviet army liberated Auschwitz, the most infamous of the Nazi World War II concentration camps.

Bahahaahahah my friend did that exact same thing in highschool, but he left the swastikas off of the armbands rather wisely. Otherwise he looked just like Hitler.
Nobody gave him any either, he told them he was a private investigator. |

Trudeau dressed in Nazi regalia and paraded through the streets of Montreal in the 1940's. He chalked it up as a "youthful indiscretion." There's a pic of that floating around somewhere.
He also hung around with murderous communist thugs.

What the hell... you can't even dress up for a costume party without annoying someone now... retarded. :rolleyes:
On the other hand, relating to the radio show, i didn't think calling the woman a bitch was appropriate. I wouldn't say it was necessarily racist (he doesn't really use any racist terms), but it's rude and belittling. |

There were many Nazis in Canada and in many other places around the world back then...the difference is that it was THEN and this is NOW...as a PRINCE he is a very public figure and it's VERY VERY VERY stupid and very ofensive that he wore such a "costume" considering his own family was almost whiped out by the the people the same uniform. Shameful... |

the prince and anyone else can do whatever the hell he wants. You dont know the context of why he wore the outfit. I doubt he is a neo nazi and even if he was, punish him if he commits a crime, not for wearing a symbol.
Sheesh |

I don't think he is either, in fact I'm sure he's not...but he's an adult and a public figure, and a symbol of a nation in a sense - and as that he can't just do whatever the hell he wants ;) Considering that OBVIOUSLY that would make it to the front pages and will OBVIOUSLY offend many people - unless publicity (good or bad) was exactly what you're looking for ;) |
