In his autobiography Spare, Prince Harry revealed that when he was 17, he “took cocaine” during a shooting weekend in the summer of 2002.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Duke went on to say that this was not a one-time occurrence and that he had taken a “few lines” on other occasions, candidly describing his experience with the drug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He stated: “It didn’t make me as happy as it seemed to make others, but it did make me feel different, and that was my main goal: to feel different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I was a 17-year-old willing to try almost anything that would upset the established order,” Prince Harry wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“At least that was what I was trying to convince myself of.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In his autobiography, Prince Harry also discusses his feelings about his father, Charles, moving on with Camilla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Duke of Sussex said: \u201cHe had asked my grandmother for permission and she had grudgingly granted it, according to what was published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“In spite of Willy and I begging him not to, my father proceeded with his plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We recognised that he was going to be with the woman he always loved, the woman that fate had in store for him from the beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Harry continued: \u201cI knew without a doubt that this marriage would drive our father away from us not in a literal sense, not in a deliberate or malicious way, but still . . . I would push him away.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I sensed that Willy and I would see our father less and that made me feel mixed emotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI wasn\u2019t happy about losing a second parent and I didn\u2019t know how to feel about having a step-mother who I thought had sacrificed me on her public relations altar.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“However I saw my father smile and it was difficult to deny it and even more difficult to deny the cause: Camilla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat I wanted in spite of everything was my father to be happy. Oddly enough I wanted Camilla to be happy. Maybe she was less dangerous when she was happy?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He added: \u201cI remember wondering just before tea if she would be cruel to me, if she would be like all the evil step-mothers of fairytales, but she wasn\u2019t. Like Willy, that made me feel really grateful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
