\n<\/aside>\nPrince Harry has revealed that in the decades-long wake of his mother Princess Diana’s death, he turned to \u201cdrinking heavy\u201d and \u2014 and sampled a series of mind-altering hard drugs. <\/p>\n
During an interview with Anderson Cooper Sunday night on \u201c60 Minutes,\u201d Harry, 38, answered questions about his tell-all book, \u201cSpare,\u201d which comes out Tuesday. <\/p>\n
All week, Harry has been on a promotional tour for the book, which is filled with details such as William allegedly getting into a physical altercation with Harry over Meghan Markle, and Harry having a frostbitten \u201ctodger\u201d during William and Kate Middleton’s wedding. <\/p>\n
Cooper, 55, questioned Harry about his admitted substance abuse \u2014 including booze, cocaine, pot and more \u2014 in the past. Harry said he did it in response to his mother’s death. <\/p>\n60 Minutes CBS\/ Inset AFP via Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cIt 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,\u201d he said. \u201cBut I resorted to drinking heavily. Because I wanted to numb the feeling, or I wanted to distract myself from how \u2026 whatever I was thinking. And I would, you know, resort to drugs as well.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\t<\/aside>\nHe also said that he felt that using psychedelics, Ayahuasca, psilocybin, mushrooms, helped him.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would never recommend people to do this recreationally \u2014 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. For me, they cleared the windshield, the windshield of the misery of loss. They cleared away this idea that I had in my head that\u2013 that my mother, 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
Part of the reason why he turned to drinking and drugs was that after Princess Diana’s tragic fatal car crash in 1997, Harry and William shared \u201csimilar thoughts\u201d on the belief that she was really gone. <\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe this is all part of a plan,\u201d said Harry. \u201cThen that she would call us and that we would go and join her, yeah.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said he held onto this belief for \u201cyears.\u201d But when he was 20, he asked to see the police report about the crash that killed his mother, in order to have \u201cproof.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cProof that she was in the car. Proof that she was injured. And proof that the very paparazzi that chased her into the tunnel were the ones that were taking photographs\u2013 photographs of her lying half dead on the back seat of the car, \u201dhe said.<\/p>\n
When Cooper asked Harry if he feels that he’s gotten all of the answers about what really happened when Princess Diana died in 1997, Harry said, \u201cTruth be known, no. I don’t think I do. And I don’t think my brother does either. I don’t think the world does.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
