The Crown film Prince Harry's Nazi uniform scandal for new Netflix series

The Crown are in the midst of filming Prince Harry's Nazi uniform scandal for the new series of the Netflix show.

Prince Harry hit the headlines back in 2005 when he dressed as a member of Erwin Rommel's Afrika Korps troops in a "native and colonial" themed party, which led to pictures of him being splashed across the front page wearing a swastika symbol on his arm.

As a result, the Royal Family was forced to apologise on his behalf and last year, in his Netflix documentary, he had shared that it was "probably one of the biggest mistakes of his life" and he had "felt so ashamed afterwards".

New pictures, shared exclusively with The Mirror, from the Netflix show's set sees an extra make his way into a local newsagents as he delivers various national newspapers which have Harry all over their covers.

The scene had to be re-filmed after one of the plastic straps on the newspapers broke and all the papers came cascading down to the floor. Luther Ford can clearly be seen recreating the image of Harry, which features on the front pages.

In his own Netflix series, Harry spoke of the "big mistake" he made - and shared how he was adamant he'd make it right.

Harry said: "It was probably one of the biggest mistakes of my life. I felt so ashamed afterwards. All I wanted to do was make it right. I've learnt my lesson. I'm very sorry if I offended anybody. I'd like to put it in the past now. What's done is done. I regret it.

"Maybe it was a sign of my own immaturity. Something like that I will never do again. It was a stupid thing to do."

Sources had previously claimed it was " one of the most shameful incidents in Harry’s life".

"It is one of the most shameful incidents in Harry’s life and one that he finally addressed in December," the insider shared, "Older generations will remember The Sun’s ‘Harry The Nazi’ story and photo but this past episode in Harry’s life may come as news to Netflix’s many younger viewers. 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."

Harry is played by Luther Ford in the sixth season of The Crown and brother Prince William by Ed McVey.
