Daily Mail obtained the manuscript of “Going There”, a memoir written by Katie Couric, and reported that Katie has written that Harry was totally in a party mood during the interview. She wrote that smell of ‘alcohol and tobacco’ oozed out of every pore of his body. This interview took place a few months before Harry was photographed at a naked pool party. However, right now, these revelations don’t have an intense shock value anymore. To some extent, Prince Harry has confessed many times that there was a phase in his life when he used to drink a lot. Previously, the prince referred to the years between 2012 and 2016 as the ‘nightmare time’ of his life. He has also opened up about his troubled past saying that he was not particularly enjoying all the alcohol or the booze. In fact, he was trying to mask some feelings.

It is also noteworthy that Prince Harry mentioned that the nightmare of time of his life ended in 2016, which is precisely the year he met Meghan Markle. So, in a way, she brought him out of his darkness and helped him accept who he was. Henry has said that those were the years when he was struggling with alcohol and drug addiction. After meeting Meghan, he began therapy and together, they pulled out of that difficult time.
Currently, Harry is happily married to Meghan Markle, who took retirement from acting following her marriage into the British Royal Family. It’s not easy for a person of Harry’s status to come clean about their struggles with mental health issues. He seemed to have found the right partner in Meghan. Currently, they are working together to make the world a better place, while also enjoying each other’s company.
