Prince Harry has sensationally claimed he hallucinated that a bin was speaking to him after taking magic mushrooms.
The Duke of Sussex revealed the bad trip in his bombshell memoir Spare, in which he also admitted taking cocaine a ‘few’ times during his wilder years.
In the autobiography, which was released early in Spain yesterday ahead of its publication in the UK next week, Harry claims the experience happened at a party with his friends.
The Prince said they spied a box of mushroom chocolates in a fridge and decided to eat them before washing them down with tequila.

The trip did not go as intended however, with the Duke ending up having a terrifying experience with a bin in the bathroom.
The Sun reports Harry as writing: ‘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”.’
Elsewhere in his memoir Harry claims he was once dragged into an office and questioned by a member of the Royal Household staff over the potential use of illegal drugs.
The grilling took place during his grandmother the Queen’s Golden Jubilee in 2002 after a journalist asked Buckingham Palace about his drug-taking habits.
The Duke reveals he smoked cannabis and drank alcohol early on in the book, before later saying he was offered a line of cocaine while on a hunting trip.
He admitted lying to the household staff member who questioned him, adding that taking cocaine ‘wasn’t much fun’ and did it partly to be different and because he was a ‘seventeen-year-old willing to try almost anything that would upset the established order’.
According to translations obtained by MailOnline and also reported by Sky News, he wrote that the drug ‘didn’t make me feel particularly happy’, but added that it had made him ‘feel different’.

Harry also describes smoking cigarettes and cannabis, and drinking at the Windsor Castle golf course, while a student at Eton.
Tales of the Duke’s exploits as a ‘party prince’ have been extensively reported over the years. Speaking on 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, Harry 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’.
It comes after the Duke of Sussex claimed that he and his brother begged their father not to marry the now-Queen Consort and that he wondered if she would one day be his ‘wicked stepmother’.
Harry’s autobiography, Spare, reveals that the royal brothers were aware of Camilla as the ‘other woman’.
Kensington Palace and Buckingham Palace have declined to comment on the leaked claims from Harry’s book which emerged five days before the explosive, tell-all memoir is due to be published in the UK.
The book includes details of the moment he was introduced to Camilla for the first time.
The Duke reportedly claims he and his brother had separate meetings with her before she married the now-King in 2005.
He claimed seeing his now-stepmother for the first time was like avoiding pain while getting and injection, and alleged that Camilla appeared ‘bored’ during their meeting before wondering whether she would be his ‘wicked stepmother’ in the future.

Also in the book, the duke claims he and his brother were willing to forgive her if she could make Charles happy, adding: ‘We saw that like us, he wasn’t.
‘We could recognise the absent glances, the empty sighs, the frustration always visible on his face.’
Harry also claims that he and William told Charles they would welcome Camilla into the family on the condition he did not marry her and ‘begged’ him not to do so.
He alleges that his father did not respond to their pleas.
The brothers feared Camilla would be unfairly compared to their mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, Harry also claims.
Other revelations from the book include the duke’s claims that a campaign was launched for Charles to marry Camilla and that his stepmother leaked details of her conversation with William to the press.
The Guardian, which said it was able to obtain a copy of Spare despite the tight pre-launch security, reported that Harry claims he was physically attacked by William and knocked to the floor during a furious confrontation over the Duchess of Sussex.
Harry claimed that William ‘came at me’ and in the ensuing melee was grabbed ‘by the collar, ripping my necklace’.
He added that he ended up knocked on the floor and landed on a dog bowl, which left him visibly injured.
Other reported revelations include how the brothers call each other ‘Willy’ and ‘Harold’ and that Charles pleaded with his sons during a tense meeting after the Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral: ‘Please, boys. Don’t make my final years a misery.’
The book comes just weeks after Harry and Meghan’s bombshell Netflix documentary – in which Harry said he was left terrified when William screamed and shouted at him at a tense Sandringham summit in 2020.
