Courteney Cox has recalled how Prince Harry stayed with her for a ‘couple of days’ – after the Duke of Sussex said he took magic mushrooms at her home. 

The royal father-of-two, 38, revealed in his bombshell memoir Spare that he hallucinated that a bin was speaking to him after taking magic mushrooms. 

Harry said while staying at the actress’ home, he spied a box of mushroom chocolates in a fridge and decided to eat them before washing them down with tequila. 

Speaking to Variety, Courteney called him ‘a really nice person’, adding: ‘He did stay here for a couple of days — probably two or three. 

‘I’m not saying there were mushrooms! I definitely wasn’t passing them out.’

Speaking to Variety , Courteney called him ‘a really nice person’ and said she had heard his memoir was ‘really entertaining’

She added: ‘I haven’t read the book. I do want to hear it, because I’ve heard it’s really entertaining. But yes, it’s gotten back to me about it.’

In Spare, Prince Harry wrote that he took mushrooms while staying at Courteney’s house in 2016.

He wrote: ‘As a ‘Friends’ fanatic, the idea of crashing at Monica’s house was highly appealing.’ 

He said: ‘Beside the toilet was a round silver bin, the kind with a foot pedal to open the lid. I stared at the bin. It stared back. Then it became… a head.

‘I stepped on the pedal and the head opened its mouth. A huge open grin.

‘I laughed, turned away, took a p***. Now the loo became a head too. 

‘The bowl was its gaping maw, the hinges of the seat were its piercing silver eyes. It said, “Aaah”.’

Tales of the duke’s exploits as a ‘party prince’ have been extensively reported over the years.

Speaking on US actor Dax Shepard’s podcast in 2021, Harry laughed as he recalled his infamous party trip to Las Vegas which saw naked photos of him leaked to the Press.

In 2012, he enjoyed a wild weekend in Las Vegas, where he was snapped in just a necklace while a naked girl hid behind him following a game of strip billiards in his VIP suite.

During Dax’s ‘Armchair Expert’ show, the royal was chatting about how people are more likely to run away and rebel after being told ‘you need help’ when the host mentioned the notorious trip, joking: ‘[Or] take your clothes off in Las Vegas’.

Courteney’s revelation comes as the Duke is due to sit down to discuss the book with a  Hungarian-Canadian doctor who was once threatened with arrest for using a ‘spiritual’ psychedelic drug to treat patients.

Gabor Maté will join Harry on Saturday to discuss ‘living with loss and the importance of personal healing’, followed by a live question and answer session.

Prince Harry’s decision to select Dr Maté to help promote his memoir is another sign of his interest in therapeutic healing, having previously discussed his experience of going through therapy.

Her comments come as Prince Harry prepares for another promotional video for the memoir on Saturday. The livestream costs £17 and comes with a free hardback copy of the Duke’s memoir

Dr Maté is a Hungarian-Canadian best-selling author and physician who specialises in addiction and childhood development

The event, organised in collaboration with Harry’s publishers Penguin Random House, will take place at 5pm UK time on Saturday March 4.

It comes at a fragile time for the Sussexes, who have seen their popularity ratings in the US drop significantly since the release of Spare last month – and now face a decision over whether to attend Charles’ coronation.

Since December last year, Harry’s popularity has sunk by 48 points and Meghan’s by 40, giving them net approval ratings of -10 and -17 respectively, according to a survey by Redfield & Wilton for Newsweek.

While Andrew is still viewed negatively following his New York civil trial against his sex accuser Virginia Roberts – which he settled out of court – his net approval rating sits at -2, with 26 per cent of Americans saying they like him compared to 28 per cent who do not.
