Prince Harry has been quite candid lately, but could his revelations in his memoir Spare and in subsequent interviews to promote the book potentially prove problematic for him? Page Six reports that in the tell-all, released in January, Harry revealed that he drank heavily, used cocaine, and smoked pot throughout his life. While Harry said he only used cocaine as a teen, he also told trauma expert Gabor Maté recently in an online chat to promote Spare that he experimented with psychedelics well into adulthood, and that he considers hallucinogenic drugs to be a “fundamental” part of his life.
“It was the cleaning of the windscreen, the removal of life’s filters—these layers of filters—it removed it all for me and brought me a sense of relaxation, relief, comfort, a lightness that I managed to hold back for a period of time,” he said earlier this month to Maté. “I started doing it recreationally and then started to realize how good it was for me.”
