Because, until he does that, every time he earnestly sits down to offer up his new-found wisdom on racial inequality, there is going to be a huge elephant in the room. Beyond that, every time he speaks out on this subject, he is just giving those who have accused him of hypocrisy or have sought to write off his activist bonafides a forest full of fuel for the fire. It has been suggested that Neo-Nazis and members of Alt-Right groups have a preference for anime-style avatars, partially due to many younger Neo-Nazis getting their start on imageboards such as 4chan and 8chan, which are also home to large sub-boards for anime discussion.

In that sense, Nazi drag becomes an anti-responsibility box that “wears out” our sense of outrage as impossibly famous and powerful people like former Prince Harry and the Premier of New South Wales “wear it out” in public. Performing Nazism, learning a lesson

Nazi uniforms are devices that de-individualise us. They de-realise us and de-historicise the past. They wear out our sense of moral agency until we no longer feel as though we’re individually responsible for the things that we all do because it becomes impossible to say who is the singular “I” that is responsible for an action. As I said, if everyone is implicated in some way, no one is guilty in any way. In 2006, a restaurant named Hitler's Cross was opened in Mumbai, India. It was later renamed after protests by the Indian Jewish community. [44] 'Nazi Collection' Bedspread was launched, by a Mumbai-based home furnishing company in 2007. [45] In 2007, in Gujarat a men's clothing store named Hitler was in the news. After the outrage owners claimed they did not know Adolf Hitler. [46] In 2011, a pool parlour named Hitler's Den was opened in Nagpur. It included the Nazi Swastika and insignia. The Israeli embassy in India expressed displeasure with the naming. Simon Wiesenthal Center, an international Jewish human rights organisation called for the parlour to be renamed but the owners of the establishment refused to rename it. [47] This line of thinking goes to the same moral argument that Second Amendment purists in the United States have been pushing, when they insist that guns don’t kill people. And so, we could say: neither do uniforms. But neither guns nor Nazi uniforms are innocent items of clothing or metalwork, nor are they historically neutral technologies. Instead, clothing is a popular public device that broadcasts our intentions and attitudes. Its layers may help regulate our body temperature in winter and summer, but those same layers also serve to send messages to others about who we are and what we support and with whom we align ourselves — and, of course, what we will turn a blind eye to.

What Harry and Meghan have is the potential to be worldwide leaders on an issue that affects billions of people. But, until Harry talks about his own past, until he finds a way to reconcile his own actions and the royal family’s history with the work he wants to do, he is just going to keep coming off as lecturing and hectoring a public and giving his critics the means to all-too easily dismiss him.
