Pia Whitesell has branded Prince Harry ‘ridiculous’ after he blamed Prince William and sister-in-law Kate Middleton for his notorious appearance at a costume party wearing a Nazi uniform in 2005.
The former Home & Away star, 39, took to Instagram to tell the Duke of Sussex to ‘stop it’ following recent comments in his new memoir.
Harry, 38, claims he was considering either the Nazi uniform or a pilot’s outfit to a ‘Native and Colonial’-themed event and called his brother and sister-in-law for their opinion.
‘I phoned Willy and Kate, asked what they thought. Nazi uniform, they said,’ Harry wrote, according to Page Six.
‘They both howled. Worse than Willy’s leotard outfit! Way more ridiculous! Which, again, was the point.’
The outfit became a huge scandal when Harry, then 20, was photographed wearing the Nazi regalia.
Harry wore the desert uniform of General Erwin Rommel’s Afrika Korps. Earlier in the evening he had worn an army-style jacket with a German flag on the arm.
Harry had arrived with his elder brother Prince William, who reportedly dressed in a skin-tight black leotard with a leopard skin pattern and a matching leopard skin tail and paws.
Harry issued a groveling apology shortly after the image was published.
He said: ‘I am very sorry if I have caused any offence or embarrassment to anyone. It was a poor choice of costume and I apologise.
