Britain’s Prince Harry apologized after a newspaper published photographs of him dressed as a Nazi at a friend’s costume party. The 20-year-old son of the late Princess Diana, who is third in line to the throne, was photographed wearing a swastika armband and what appeared to be a German army desert uniform. The picture appeared on the front page of the Sun newspaper with the caption “Harry the Nazi.” In a statement, the prince said, “I am very sorry if I caused any offense or embarrassment to anyone. It was a poor choice of costume and I apologize.”
