In 'Spare,' Harry wrote that the idea of living so close to William and Kate excited him, as he hoped he would be 'popping in all the time' with 'a bottle of wine and an armful of kiddie presents.' But to his disappointment, the couple never invited him over, he said. In late 2013, Harry moved into Nottingham Cottage after William and Kate moved into Kensington Palace on the same grounds following Prince George's birth. Harry said his brother and Kate never invited him over for dinner when they lived next to each other. In his Netflix docuseries 'Harry & Meghan,' released in December 2022, Harry said wearing the costume was one of the biggest mistakes of his life. 'There were moments over the course of the next several weeks and months when I thought I might die of shame,' Harry wrote of the scandal. Harry wrote that no one took notice of his costume at the party, but a few days later, a photo of him in the uniform was splashed on the front page of The Sun. He said he called William and Kate and asked what they thought, and they told him to pick the Nazi uniform. On the day of the party, Harry said he went to a costume shop and narrowed his options down to a British pilot's uniform and a Nazi uniform with a swastika armband.

The party's theme was 'natives and colonials,' which Harry called 'cringy.' Harry said he hated themed parties and didn't want to go, but William and Kate promised to help him find something to wear - and he wanted to make Kate laugh with his costume. Harry discusses his 2005 Nazi uniform scandal at length in 'Spare,' writing that he had worn the costume to a 'fancy-dress party' for William's friend's birthday.
