Wearing a Nazi Costume to a Party Is One of Harry's "Biggest Mistakes in Life"

Harry says fighting racism and unconscious bias, which he acknowledges he is not immune to, is very important to him. In fact, wearing a Nazi costume to a party in 2005 — which made headlines at the time and has followed Harry through life — is something he's still striving to make right.

"It was probably one of the biggest mistakes in my life," Harry says about the moment. "I felt so ashamed afterward. All I wanted to do was make it right. We sat down and spoke to the chief rabbi in London, which had a profound impact on me. I went to Berlin and spoke to a Holocaust survivor . . . I learned from that."
