At the age of 36, Prince Harry said in his contentious autobiography “Spare” that he would “roll a joint” and consume it by himself at night.
The 38-year-old Duke of Sussex claimed that he used marijuana when visiting US actor Tyler Perry’s residence in Los Angeles in 2020, after their departure from Canada.
He said: “I’d wander the home late at night, when everyone was sleeping, inspecting the doors and windows.
Then I’d roll a joint while sitting on the balcony or the edge of the garden.
The home had a valley below it and a slope covered with frogs.
I would listen to their late-night music and inhale the fragrant air.
California legalized cannabis for recreational consumption in 2016.
The 53-year-old American actor and director Tyler Perry offered the Duke and Duchess of Sussex use of his $18 million Beverly Hills house in exchange for helping them move to the US.
In their Netflix documentary series, he claims: “They just wanted to be free. They want the freedom to love and be happy. They failed to… They lacked a strategy. Everyone says, “Oh, look at this.” There was no strategy.
In his autobiography, Harry also remembers using marijuana with pals during his time at Eton in “a little upstairs lavatory, where we’d execute a very smart, organized production line.”
In the book, he states, “I knew this was terrible behavior. I was aware of the error. My friends also knew. We often discussed how foolish it was for us to be squandering an Eton education while high.
The 38-year-old reportedly admitted to using cocaine, ketamine, and magic mushrooms elsewhere in the book. He also detailed how he had a hallucination that a dumpster was speaking to him.
The “grief” and “trauma” Harry experienced after the death of his mother, Princess Diana, he attributed to the usage of psychedelic substances.
When he was older, he said that using psychedelics “washed away the concept” that he had to feel depressed to demonstrate that he “missing” his mother.
The Duke of Sussex also recalls being forced into the office of an anonymous member of the Royal Household staff in 2002, during the Golden Jubilee of his grandmother the Queen, when a reporter inquired about the Palace’s drug usage.
During a weekend of hunting, he said that he was given a line of cocaine.
Harry, who acknowledged lying to the Royal Household employees during his questioning, claims that doing cocaine “wasn’t much pleasure,” but he did it partially to stand out and because, as a 17-year-old, he was “ready to try nearly anything that might disrupt the established order.”
It wasn’t much fun, and it didn’t make me feel as pleased as the others appeared to, but the key point was that it made me feel different. to emote. to stand out.’
