Prince Harry is the new face of psychedelic mental health treatment

Prince Harry’s memoir, Spare, isn’t even officially out yet — but thanks to an accidental early release and a handful of promotional interviews, we know for certain that the Duke of Sussex is not holding back. The book, officially out on Tuesday, Jan. 10, is packed with an impressive amount of tabloid fodder that adds color to key moments — including new details surrounding his controversial Nazi costume, a physical brawl with Prince William over Meghan Markle, his relationship with stepmom Camila Bowles, and his use of psychedelics as a therapy treatment.

In a 60 Minutes interview with host Anderson Cooper, the Duke of Sussex shared that he initially resorted to alcohol, weed, and cocaine to help numb the feelings of frustration and blame he felt toward the British press for playing a part in the untimely death of his mother, Princess Diana. "There was this weight on my chest that I felt for so many years that I was never able to cry," he said. "I was constantly trying to find a way to cry, but — in even sitting on my sofa and going over as many memories as I could muster up about my mum. And sometimes I watched videos [of her] online."
