Prince Harry is like a ‘child in a playground by shifting Nazi costume blame on Kate and William’

Prince Harry has been compared to a “kid on a playground” after he claimed the Prince and Princess of Wales “told him to wear a Nazi uniform to a costume party”, a royal expert has argued.

Appearing in the last episode of Palace Confidential in Mail PlusThe newspaper’s editor, Richard Eden, said the Duke of Sussex was “pathetic” in trying to blame his brother and sister-in-law.

In its new Spare biography, which was accidentally published four days earlier in Spain today, the father-of-two explained how he was trying to decide between a Nazi suit or a pilot suit to a ‘Native and Colonial’ themed event in 2005.

Harry says he called Prince William and his then-girlfriend Kate Middleton to ask their opinion and alleges they told him to choose the controversial outfit.

I called Willy and Kate, asked what they thought. Nazi uniform, they said,’ Harry wrote, according to page six.

They both howled. Worse than Willy’s leotard outfit! Much more ridiculous! Which, again, was the point.

The outfit became a major scandal when Harry, then 20, was photographed wearing Nazi regalia.

The story made global headlines after an image of Harry in the costume appeared on the front page of The Sun newspaper.

Commenting on the duke’s new revelation, Richard Eden said: ‘It’s pathetic, isn’t it?

“It’s like a kid on a playground saying, ‘It wasn’t me, it wasn’t me! They told me to do it!”

‘He was a grown man at the time, he was a grown man. I’m sure he can decide what to wear to a party.

Elsewhere in the episode, the pundit makes reference to how Prince Harry will have to swear allegiance to King Charles if he decides to attend his coronation in May.

Richard continued: ‘On the one hand, [Prince Harry and Meghan Markle] love to attend royal events.

“It shows that they are still part of the Royal Family, it’s good for future business, but the coronation will be different.”

He will be there to swear allegiance to the new monarch. […] and that’s a big thing for him to have to do. Is he really going to do that after throwing all these bricks at the monarchy?

In his new book, Prince Harry also opens up about his mother’s affair with Major James Hewitt and claims his father Charles joked: “Who knows if I’m your real father?”

In Spare, the Duke of Sussex says that Charles “liked to tell anecdotes” and that “one of his best” was the story of a visit to a mental hospital where he met a man claiming to be the Prince of Wales.

According to the Duke’s account of the story, Charles wagged his finger at the patient and said, “I am the Prince of Wales”, only for the man to “respond with the same gesture”.

According to the duke’s account, Charles later quipped: ‘Who knows if I’m your real father? Perhaps your father really is in Broadmoor, my dear son! Harry wrote that the joke was “in bad taste” given the rumor that his real father was James Hewitt.

Hewitt had a five-year affair with Princess Diana when he was a young officer in the Household Cavalry, from 1986 to 1991.

This was confirmed by the Princess of Wales during the now infamous Panorama interview with disgraced journalist Martin Bashir.

Harry’s resemblance to the army officer led to claims that he was a product of the affair.

In his memoirs, the prince says the rumors continued despite Diana not meeting the cavalry officer “until long after I was born.” He adds that if Charles thought anything about Commander Hewitt, he “he kept it to himself.”

Elsewhere in the biography, Prince Harry said he “begged Prince Charles not to marry Camilla” and feared that one day she would be his “evil stepmother.”

The Duke of Sussex claims that he and his brother would not get in the way of the then-Prince of Wales’s relationship, but asked him not to walk down the aisle a second time, calling Camilla the “other woman.”

Charles had tried to “win over the children” before asking the public to accept Camilla, the book claims. Harry claims that meeting her for the first time was like a “shot”, writing: “she Close your eyes and you won’t even feel it.”

The Duke said: ‘I remember wondering… if she would be cruel to me; if she were like all the wicked stepmothers in the tales.’ And he added: ‘Willy had been suspicious of the Other Woman for a long time, which confused and tormented him; When those suspicions were confirmed, he felt an agonizing remorse for not having done or said anything before.
