Did Prince Harry address the nazi-costume scandal in the Netflix documentary Harry & Meghan?

In the Harry & Meghan documentary, Prince Harry said that “It was one of the biggest mistakes of my life,” He went on to reveal that “I felt so ashamed afterwards. All I wanted to do was make it right. I sat down and spoke to the chief rabbi in London, which had a profound effect on me. I went to Berlin and spoke to a Holocaust survivor. I could have just ignored it and made the same mistakes over again in my life. But I learned from that.”
