To say Prince Harry opens up in his new memoir is surely an understatement. In addition to revealing a physical altercation with his brother, he discusses feeling the "absence of love and affection in our home" as a child, using cocaine at 17, losing his virginity in a field behind a pub, killing Taliban fighters in Afghanistan—and that's not all. The book's official release is Tuesday, but media outlets got their hands on copies after some bookstores in Spain accidentally started selling Spare on Thursday. It has since been pulled from shelves, but its contents are no longer secret. Standout details:
- Losing his virginity: Harry writes that his first time was a "humiliating episode … in a field, just behind a very busy pub" and "no doubt someone had seen us," per the BBC. He adds his partner was an older woman who "really liked horses" and treated him like a "young stallion."
- Drug use: Harry writes of using cocaine, magic mushrooms, and marijuana beginning at the age of 17, adding his main goal was "to feel. To be different," per CNN. In a clip from his forthcoming interview with ITV's Tom Bradby, the prince says this behavior is "important to acknowledge," per the Guardian.
