[tuvor]

LONDON (AFP) - Britain's Prince Harry apologized after he was pictured on the front page of The Sun newspaper dressed up at a costume party as a Nazi soldier, triggering shock and revulsion.

Thursday's edition of the Sun features Prince Harry, younger son of Britain's Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana, wearing a khaki uniform with an armband emblazoned with a swastika, emblem of the German WWII Nazi Party.

Harry, 20, who is third in line to the British throne after his father and his elder brother William, was also shown holding a cigarette and drink at a party which had the theme of "Natives and Colonials."

A spokeswoman for the royal family who was contacted by AFP read a statement of apology.

5. Considering the Windsors' Tangled Past With the Nazis This Is Sickening

I am beyond revulsion.

Not funny.

Not cute.

6. I really think this Prince Harris fella is looking for attention.

He doesn't like being second after his big brother. He's always getting into trouble...and I think it's planned.
