Prince Harry has disclosed that psychedelics play a "fundamental" role in his life, helping him remove "the filters" that hinder true happiness and allowing him to confront "the traumas and the pains of the past," the supermarket tabloid Globe claimed in its latest publication.
It seems that these mind-altering substances may have contributed to his willingness to criticize his father, King Charles, brother Prince William, sister-in-law Kate, and stepmother Camilla in his contentious memoir, Spare, as well as in a series of tell-all television interviews.
While some may argue that this openness is a positive development, even if his allegations of racism, insensitivity, and cruelty within the royal family do not stand the test of time, others contend that Harry's use of psychedelics has not addressed his own glaring hypocrisy.
Together with his wife, Meghan, the couple has been accused of being greedy, self-centered, and hypocritical. Despite advocating for environmental causes, they have been seen traveling in private jets and living in a $14 million Montecito, California mansion. Additionally, they have secured $150 million in media deals by capitalizing on their royal connections.
Meghan has also faced criticism for her seemingly tone-deaf actions, such as wearing designer clothes and expensive jewelry while visiting an underprivileged Harlem elementary school. Detractors argue that she is more focused on playing the victim and enjoying a luxurious lifestyle than genuinely caring about the less fortunate.
As for Harry, who began using mushrooms as a young man, his critics suggest that he blindly follows Meghan's lead like a "pathetic puppy." It remains to be seen whether his psychedelic experiences will guide him towards a more grounded reality, or if he has permanently disconnected from it.
