Prince Harry swore off alcohol back in 2018 but there are recent claims that he has fallen off the wagon.
Globe, in its Feb. 20 issue, claimed that the ongoing backlash following the release of Spare caused Prince Harry to resort to drinking again.
“Harry’s always had a problem with moderation and drank as a means to cope in the past. The fact he’s on the grog again now is a real red flag when she’s stressed out of his mind – no matter how much he pretends everything’s okay in his life,” the source said.
The source added that even though Prince Harry has never shied away from talking about his alcohol problems, there are ongoing fears that things could be much worse for the dad of two this time around.
“The worry is this could turn into a problem because one drink seems to lead to another and if he starts self-medicating, it could explode into a serious habit,” the source said.
The source also claimed that Prince Harry has not been seen in public since he promoted his memoir. So, there are concerns that he could be spending time at home while downing a bottle of alcohol or two.
“If Harry’s cooped up at home and hitting the bottle, he needs healthier ways to unwind when the weight of the world feels too heavy to handle. Harry had booze on the brain when he thanked his special friends in the UK who stuck by amongst the fog promising, ‘Next round’s on me,’” the source said.
While it is true that Prince Harry has always been open about his struggles with alcohol, there’s no indication that he has fallen off the wagon.
Even if Prince Harry drank alcohol during his appearance on The Late Show With Seth Meyer, this doesn’t prove that he has been drinking nonstop at home.
The Duke of Sussex never said that he stopped drinking for good. Rather, he said that he no longer drinks to the point of getting drunk. After all, he is over with his phase in his life since he did it while he was dealing with the death of Princess Diana.
Now, Prince Harry seems to be in a much better place in his life and in his marriage to Meghan Markle.
