Prince Harry says he was so troubled over the death of his mom — Princess Diana — that he turned to heavy drinking and taking drugs — consisting of cocaine — to handle all the sorrow.
Harry made the sensational admission to Anderson Cooper on “60 Minutes” Sunday night as part of the Duke of Sussex’s media blintz for his questionable narrative entitled, “Spare,” which is out today.
Anderson set the phase, asking Harry if he blamed the paparazzi for their declared function in the 1997 auto accident that declared Diana’s life in Paris when he was just 12.
Harry reacted, “Yeah, I mean, it was obvious to us as kids the British press’ part in our mother’s misery and I had a lot of anger inside of me that luckily, I never expressed to anybody.”
He continued … “But I resorted to drinking heavily. Because I wanted to numb the feeling, or I wanted to distract myself from how … whatever I was thinking. And I would, you know, resort to drugs as well.”
In a voiceover, Anderson kept in mind Harry smoked weed and consumed cocaine due to the fact that the prince felt “hopeless” and “lost” in his late 20’s.
Harry then exposed he was not able to sob over his mommy’s death due to the concern he felt, so he attempted speculative treatments utilizing hallucinogenic mushrooms and other psychedelics.
“I would never recommend people to do this recreationally,” Harry stated. “But doing it with the right people if you are suffering from a huge amount of loss, grief or trauma, then these things have a way of working as a medicine.”
He included that the treatments cleaned away the concept “that I needed to cry to prove to my mother that I missed her when, in fact, all she wanted was for me to be happy.”
To close the uncomfortable chapter, Harry stated he examined the authorities file consisting of images revealing cameramen snapping images of Diana lying dead in the automobile.
He likewise checked out the mishap scene to verify his belief that the paps chasing after Diana triggered the fatal accident — rather of his mommy’s driver, whom the authorities stated was to blame due to the fact that he had actually been consuming.
