Harry has admitted taking class A drugs as a teenager at a country house but said it did not make him feel happy.  Speaking to ITV’s Tom Bradby about his new book Spare, the duke said it was “important to acknowledge” his drug-taking, which included marijuana, magic mushrooms and cocaine.  Bradby told him: “I mean, I think it’s an example of the scale of honesty. You don’t seem to hold anything back. You tell the story about cocaine through this tabloid editor, you said, came to you and said, ‘I’ve got a picture of you taking cocaine. I’m gonna…'”  Harry interjected: “Didn’t come to me, he came to someone else.”

Reference to Harry and his controversial memoir Spare was made at the 28th annual Critics Choice Awards (CCA) on Sunday.  In the book, which has become the fastest selling non-fiction book since its release, the duke discussed a trip to the North Pole, and described how his genitals had been frost-nipped.  Opening the CCA ceremony, host Handler discussed the success of award-nominated Netflix show Dahmer.

The 38-year-old wrote that it was not “fun and it did not make me feel as happy as it seemed to make others but it did make me feel different and that was my main goal. To feel. To be different”.  “I was a 17-year-old willing to try almost anything that would upset the established order. At least that was what I was trying to convince myself of,” he said.  Prince Harry also described getting frostbite on his 'todger' within the book.  TalkTV's Cristo and Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield read passages of Spare, which one caller described as 'sickly'

The book includes claims that the Prince of Wales physically attacked him and teased him about his panic attacks, and that the King put his own interests above Harry’s and was jealous of the Duchess of Sussex and the Princess of Wales.  In a US broadcast promoting the work, Harry branded Duchess of Cornwall the “villain” and “dangerous”, accusing her of rehabilitating her image at the expense of his.  Speaking to TalkTV's Kevin O'Sullivan, former Royal editor of The Sun Charlie Rae criticised Prince Harry's 'Spare' as a 'moanathon.'

"She could be doing bad things again because she's not a strong-minded woman. She's pliable."  The BBC has been slammed for 'giving terrorists a platform' in a Shamima Begum podcast.  The 23-year-old infamously disappeared from London in 2015 to join ISIS and become a jihadi bride in Syria.  Sharon Osbourne believes it's "dangerous" and "too much of a risk" for Begum to return to the UK.
