Prince Harry continues to shock with his autobiographical book, which has been out for a few days and which in a way shows the dark side of the royal family.
Among the stories of the prodigal prince, the chapter that Harry has dedicated to a dark period of his life, where he, like many young people, fell into the clutches of drugs is noteworthy.
"The Kingdom" shows that at the age of 17 he started taking cocaine.
"At that time I was taking cocaine. We were at a friend's house, when they offered me a visa, and from that moment I started to get one. It wasn't much fun, and it didn't make me feel happy like others did. It made me feel different and he was my main target at the time," reads the Duke of Sussex's autobiography.
Prince Harry has also made a strong statement, saying that he has killed 25 Taliban fighters during his second tour of duty in Afghanistan. The Duke of Sussex, who was known as 'Captain Wales' in the army, wrote that he did not think of those killed 'as men' but rather as 'chess pieces' that he had removed from the field.
It is the first time Harry, 38, has spoken about the number of Taliban fighters he personally killed during his time in Afghanistan, where he went in 2007-8 and 2012. The prince was first deployed to Helmand province as a forward air traffic controller in 2007, but his first tour of duty was cut short after foreign news organizations violated an agreed-upon news blackout.
After learning to fly Apache helicopters, Harry was deployed to Camp Bastion in southern Afghanistan in 2012, where he stayed for 20 weeks. During his 2012 tour, Harry helped provide helicopter support to the International Security Assistance Force and Afghan forces operating throughout Helmand province.
He trained to fly in the front seat as a mission or aircraft commander, but most of the time he used the Apache's sights, sensors and weapons systems.
The revelation could escalate fears for his personal safety as Prince Harry has long been considered a terrorist target due to his royal status and military connections. It comes amid an ongoing legal battle with the Home Office over not providing full police protection for Harry and his family when they visit the UK.
The Duke's lawyer said he "doesn't feel safe" in the UK, having lost his taxpayer-funded security when he and his wife stepped down from royal duties.
