In a surprising revelation, Prince Harry has admitted that he sees himself as the character Chandler from the beloved sitcom “Friends.”
The Duke of Sussex, in his book titled “Spare,” delves into his personal experiences and shares that “Friends” became his constant companion during difficult times, including panic attacks and periods of withdrawal from public life.
Prince Harry opens up about the 2016 incident when he crashed at Courtney Cox’s house, who played Monica on the show.
He confesses that the idea of crashing at Monica’s house was highly appealing to him, considering himself a devoted “Friends” fanatic.
Interestingly, he also admits to having a crush on Courtney Cox, which added to his confusion since she portrayed Monica while he saw himself as Chandler.
He even wondered if he would ever gather the courage to express his feelings, jokingly questioning if there was enough tequila in California to make him brave enough.
But the revelations don’t stop there.
Prince Harry goes on to share details of a mushroom trip he had at Courtney Cox’s house.
He reveals that he consumed black diamond magic mushroom chocolates and washed them down with tequila.
According to him, during the trip, a silver bin in the toilet started staring at him with a huge grin.
It’s an unexpected and candid admission from the Prince, leaving readers intrigued and surprised by his experiences.
Both Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan, couldn’t resist dropping Courtney Cox’s name in their book.
As they are of the right age to have been fans of “Friends,” they playfully engage in a game of Six Degrees of Central Perk, imagining themselves connected to the show’s characters.
However, the implication that Courtney provided the mushrooms remains uncertain, as it is possible that someone else brought them to the gathering.
Regardless, Prince Harry is the one facing criticism for his actions, while Matthew Perry, who played Chandler on the show, managed to write a book about his own drug-fueled life without involving his friends.
While Prince Harry’s book, “Spare,” has not gained significant popularity in Australia and New Zealand, Matthew Perry’s book has been a hit.
Perry’s captivating storytelling and excellent writing have garnered attention and praise.
Meanwhile, Meghan has faced challenges in Hollywood, evident from her association with Alec Baldwin, who is currently considered a pariah.
The Sussexes’ strained relationship with the entertainment industry is further highlighted by the fact that Prince William serves as the president of the BAFTAs, a prestigious award ceremony in the UK.
Many actors aspire to attend the event and gain recognition both in the UK and the United States.
The recent revelation about Courtney Cox offering illegal substances in her home has likely caused frustration for Oprah as well.
This controversy adds to the Sussexes’ growing list of public missteps, including their denial of calling the royal family racist, which has caused further controversy.
While there are numerous attention-seeking reality stars, most A-list talents prefer to maintain a private life and value discretion.
Unfortunately, the Sussexes have struggled to keep certain matters confidential, resulting in missed opportunities such as invitations to the Oscars, Golden Globes, Emmys, Met Ball, Clooney Foundation events, and even being snubbed by Michelle Obama.
Their book tour included appearances on shows hosted by Oprah, Tyler Perry, Ellen, and Gayle King, but Meghan did not receive an invitation.
The only recognition they received was the Ripple of Hope awards for fighting racism within the royal family, which they now deny, awarded by a privileged white woman who some believe may not fully comprehend the reality of racism.
It is clear why this year was supposed to be a time of reconciliation for the Sussexes.
However, their publisher, Penguin, and streaming platform, Netflix, seem determined to keep their royal controversies in the spotlight, as they have invested in sharing their story.
