An early edition of the tabloid had run with the front page headline "So Sorry", with the Ss in Nazi German SS-style font, over the line "Harry opens his heart over Nazi gaffe".
However, the story and headline disappeared from the front page in later editions, but it was not pulled entirely. Instead, it was moved inside in later editions with a new cover carrying a story about Soham killer Ian Huntley having had boiling water thrown at him by a fellow prisoner.
The Harry story was trailed on the cover with the line 'Harry: sorry' without the SS font.
It was The Sun that broke the story and pictures of Harry's appearance in a Nazi Afrika Korps uniform with a swastika armband at a "Colonials and Natives" fancy dress party in January.
Harry issued a fresh apology for the incident in a special 21st birthday interview yesterday given to Sky News, the Press Association and BBC Radio.
Sky, owned like The Sun by republican-leaning Rupert Murdoch, was a surprise choice as TV outlet for the interview. It seemed to have benefited from the Royal Family's annoyance with the BBC, which along with ITV traditionally gets royal interviews.
The Sun is 20 years older than the Prince today -- it is 41 years since it launched on September 15, 1964.
The Sun had no comment to make on its front cover switch.
