Prince Harry spoke about the time he was photographed wearing a Nazi uniform as a costume to a party in January 2005, calling it “one of the biggest mistakes of my life” in the couple’s new Netflix series.

“I felt so ashamed afterwards,” Harry said in the third episode of the series, which premiered Thursday. “All I wanted to do was make it right.”

The royal was 20 when he wore the uniform to a party.

“I sat down and spoke to the chief rabbi in London, which had a profound impact on me,” the Duke of Sussex said. “I went to Berlin and spoke to a Holocaust survivor.”

“I could’ve just ignored it and probably made the same mistakes over and over again in my life, but I learnt from that,” the prince said.
