Prince Harry Admits He Took Drugs at a Young Age to "Be Different"

Harry has previously admitted to drug use in his youth when he faced accusations of underage drinking and cannabis use at age 16, CNN reported in 2002. However, his new book reveals that he took cocaine when he was 17 and tried mushrooms at a party at Courteney Cox's house. According to Sky News, he wrote, "Of course I had been taking cocaine at that time. At someone's house, during a hunting weekend, I was offered a line, and since then I had consumed some more . . . It wasn't very fun, and it didn't make me feel especially happy as seemed to happen to others, but it did make me feel different, and that was my main objective. To feel. To be different."
