William and Kate ‘howled with laughter’ at Harry’s infamous Nazi costume
Explosive excerpt from the Duke of Sussex's memoir 'Spare', leaked to the Guardian newspaper, claims his brother and sister-in-law found the offensive fancy dress amusing.
William and Kate ‘howled with laughter’ at Prince Harry’s infamous Nazi costume, according to claims leaked from the Duke of Sussex’s soon to be published book.
Harry writes that he phoned the couple to ask them whether he should chose a pilot’s uniform or a Nazi one ahead of a party in early 2005 and that William and Kate suggested the latter, both howling with laughter when he went home and tried it on for them.
Harry, then 20, sparked outrage and was widely condemned when a photograph of him in the uniform complete with swastika ended up on the front page of a newspaper. He said in his Netflix documentary: “It was probably one of the biggest mistakes of my life.”
So far, Kensington Palace and Buckingham Palace have declined to comment on the excerpts from Harry’s book which emerged just days before the explosive tell-all autobiography ‘Spare’ is due to be published.
The Duke of Sussex has also claimed he was physically attacked by his brother the Prince of Wales and knocked to the floor during a furious confrontation over the Duchess of Sussex.
The newspaper said it was able to obtain a copy of Spare despite the tight pre-launch security.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.

Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
