Harry's nazi Costume...

Harry says sorry for Nazi costume

Prince Harry has apologised for wearing a swastika armband to a friend's fancy dress party.

Clarence House issued a statement in response to a photograph published on the front page of the Sun newspaper under the headline, "Harry the Nazi".

It read: "Prince Harry has apologised for any offence or embarrassment he has caused. He realises it was a poor choice of costume."

But there have been calls for the prince to make his own public apology.

Tory leader Michael Howard told BBC Radio 4's Today programme Prince Harry should appear in person, rather than talk through a spokesman.

The Board of Deputies of British Jews said the costume was in "bad taste".

But they were "pleased" he had apologised for the incident.

"It was clearly in bad taste, especially in the run-up to holocaust memorial day on the 27th of this month, which the Royal Family will be taking a leading role in commemorating."

The picture was taken at the weekend at a friend's birthday party in Wiltshire, which had the fancy dress theme "colonial and native".

Prince Harry, 20, appears to be wearing a German desert uniform and a swastika armband. He is also holding a drink and cigarette.

Rabbi Dr Jonathan Romain, of the Reform Synagogues of Great Britain, said: "The fact that the palace has issued an apology indicates that this was a mistake by the prince.

"But having been given, the apology should now be accepted."

But the Queen's former assistant press secretary, Dickie Arbiter, said: "This young man has got to come up front and be seen in person making an apology."

Former armed forces minister Doug Henderson MP said the picture showed the prince was "not suitable" for the prestigious royal military academy Sandhurst, which he is due to attend later this year.

"If it was anyone else, the application wouldn't be considered. It should be withdrawn immediately," said the Labour MP for Newcastle upon Tyne North.

The prince, who is third in line to the throne, hit the headlines last year after a scuffle with a photographer at a nightclub.

The Sun reported that Prince William was also at the party - dressed as a lion.

i seriously cant stand either of those 2 boys

William or Harry.... sorry but I cant

^No need to be sorry, I cant either.They got all the money in the world, too bad theyre so pathetic.

Wow I didnt even hear about that

I think Harry is ugly too.. 😬 hes not cute at all...

William on the other hand is cute but nothing to get excited about

Not only is the swastika in poor taste, but I heard he had a rebel flag on his belt buckle. I mean, whats the big deal? Many people consider it a symbol of their heritage!

🙄

What was he thinking?

""Prince Harry has apologised for any offence or embarrassment he has caused. He realises it was a poor choice of costume.""

He realised this after everyone made him think it was. It was a dress up party, he wasn't walking around claiming allegiance to the Nazis. If I go to a dress up party as Rameses, it doesn't mean I approve of how he tortured slaves.

Who the Hell cares? He dressed up as something. Big deal man. People need to get lives.

The medias taking it over the top

Well, I agree that it is offensive. The British media is very good at blowing things out of proportion. Well, I guess all media is good at that. But it is offensive for all the obvious reasons.

This kid is just an arrogant little prick who does these things for attention. He knew there would be a huge shit storm over this. It's not like he hasn't had 20 years to realize the media follow his entire family around(although why anyone gives a shit about them...much less why Britain even wants to keep a royal family I'll never understand) Sorry he'll never be king, but he might as well spend his life making an ass out of his family to get even for it.

doesnt the media always take it over the top

i've seen pics 😱

imo it is sick...
guy should:
a. get some life...you know private?
b. stop acting like an idiot 🙁

👆 I agree totally, at a fancy dress party you should dress up as anything.

"imo it is sick..."

How is it "sick"? The boy dressed up for a party. The Royal Family have alot more shocking things going on within their walls than Harry wearing a swastika. They probably used this opportunity to just take the edge off them.
