Prince Harry's Nazi costume scandal to feature in The Crown's next season: reports

It was the 2005 incident Prince Harry recently described as "one of the biggest mistakes" of his life.

Almost 20 years later, his decision to wear a Nazi uniform to a costume party and the front-page headlines that ensued, is reportedly set to feature in the next season of The Crown.

The TV drama is made by Netflix – the same company the Duke of Sussex is signed to and where the royal recently broke his silence on the scandal.

"It was one of the biggest mistakes of my life," he said in the docuseries Harry & Meghan, released in December.

"I felt so ashamed afterwards, all I wanted to do was make it right."

Now, Prince Harry will be forced to relive the outrage that came from the photos of him with a swastika symbol on his arm.

The "native and colonial" fancy dress bash where he wore the costume will feature in Season 6, the final season of the hit show, according to The Sun.

"It is one of the most shameful incidents in Harry's life and one that he finally addressed in December," an unnamed insider told the publication.

"In more recent times, Harry has made claims about racism in the UK and unconscious bias in the royal family on Netflix. It is kind of ironic that Netflix is the one to bring up this incident."

The Duke of Sussex also spoke about the decision to wear the uniform in his tell-all memoir Spare.

In that, he put the blame for his choice as a 20-year-old on his brother, Prince William, and sister-in-law, Kate.

Prince Harry revealed he had been deciding between going in a pilot costume or the one he wore, so he called the couple for their opinion.

"I phoned Willy and Kate, asked what they thought. Nazi uniform, they said," Harry wrote.

After he went home, it's said he tried on the costume for the couple and "they both howled".

"Worse than Willy's leotard outfit! Way more ridiculous! Which, again, was the point."

Prince William also attended the bash, dressed as a lion.

Luther Ford will play Prince Harry in Season 6 of The Crown, while Prince William will be played by Ed McVey.

The drama is also set to put a twist on how the Prince of Wales met his wife at university, with photos of the cast filming scenes for the new season seen last week.
