On the set of the popular royal drama, the cast and crew were spotted filming scenes depicting the aftermath of the incident that took place at a costume party in 2005.
Photographs from The Crown's set capture a man carrying newspapers with a prominent image of Prince Harry, showing him wearing a swastika armband.
Luther Ford, the actor portraying Prince Harry in the series' final season, recreated the infamous scene, adding to the anticipation surrounding the upcoming drama.
Over the years, Prince Harry has expressed remorse for his choice of attire, including issuing an apology shortly after the incident occurred.
In his memoir, titled Spare, Harry reveals that his brother, Prince William, and sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, encouraged him to wear the Nazi uniform for the costume party. According to Harry, when he asked their opinion, they "howled with laughter" upon seeing him in the ensemble.
Detailing the events further in his book, Harry explains that he had considered wearing a pilot uniform for the "Native and Colonial"-themed party but eventually decided to rent the Nazi costume along with a comical mustache. Returning to the house, he tried on the outfit, and both William and Kate found it hilariously absurd, surpassing even William's leotard costume.
Harry emphasizes that the intention was to create a highly exaggerated and ridiculous appearance, as the attire itself was meant to be the point of mockery.
As the final season of The Crown approaches, viewers can expect a revisit to the controversial Nazi costume scandal, shedding light on the repercussions and reflections surrounding Prince Harry's costume choice.
