“I sat down and spoke to the chief rabbi in London, which had a profound impact on me,” he recalled on the series. “I went to Berlin and spoke to a Holocaust survivor.”
The royal also addressed the idea of “unconscious bias” in his family, noting that while “it’s actually no one’s fault,” that doesn’t absolve one of responsibility.
“Once it’s been pointed out or identified within yourself you then need to make it right,” Egli ha detto. “It’s education, it’s awareness and it’s a constant work in progress for everyone ― including me.”
Harry was photographed wearing a Nazi soldier’s uniform with a red-and-black swastika armband and an army shirt while clutching a drink at a friend’s costume party on Jan. 8, 2005.

The incident occurred just two weeks before the 60th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp.
Dopo l'incidente, Harry apologized in a statement, detto, “I am very sorry if I caused any offense or embarrassment to anyone. It was a poor choice of costume and I apologize.”
Il Board of Deputies of British Jews said at the time that era “pleased that [Harry has] apologized for … his ill-judged actions.”
“We would now want to concentrate on ensuring that everyone understands the evils and enormity of the Holocaust, and the resonance of the swastika, not only to the Jewish community, but to all in the United Kingdom affected by the Second World War against the Nazis,” the group added.
I primi tre episodi di Harry & Meghan ora sono in streaming su Netflix.
