Royal Expert Says Meghan Markle ‘Should Have Warned’ Prince Harry About Candid Drug Revelations In ‘Spare’

Prince Harry’s bombshell memoir Spare is still making headlines, over two months after it first hit the shelves, as a royal expert has just weighed in on the fact that his candid confessions about his past recreational drug use could potentially have terrible consequences.

It’s recently been reported that the Duke of Sussex, 38, *could* even have his US visa taken from him as a result of the revelations, with royal biographer Angela Levin confessing that she thought Meghan Markle, 41, “should have warned” him about the potential consequences of sharing too much.

Royal Expert Says Meghan Markle Should Have Warned Prince Harry About Oversharing

"I don’t understand why his wife didn’t warn him," Levin told Dan Wootton on GB News. "He talked to her about everything he was going to say. She is in charge as we both know," she continued, adding, "She didn’t say 'be careful, because if you talk too much about the drugs, you might be in trouble.'"

Levin also went on to say that she was "concerned" about "why she left him alone on this." As we know, the former Suits actress has been keeping to herself over the past few months while her husband and the father of her two children, Prince Archie, 3, and Princess Lilibet, 21 months, has been busy promoting his memoir. Could her failure to warn him about the potential consequences of his oversharing be one of the reasons?

In the same interview with Wootton, Levin also added: "The mental health guru who was talking to him should have said beforehand, 'don’t talk about the drugs,'" adding, "He made his life extremely difficult."

What Potential Consequences Does Prince Harry Face?

The Heritage Foundation (an American conservative think tank based in Washington, D.C.) is reportedly calling for Prince Harry's visa application to be released, with director Mike Howell saying: "This request is in the public interest in light of the potential revocation of Prince Harry’s visa for illicit substance use and further questions regarding the Prince’s drug use and whether he was properly vetted before entering the United States."

Former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani, who is the president of West Coast Trial Lawyers and is based in Los Angeles, also told Page Six: "An admission of drug use is usually grounds for inadmissibility. That means Prince Harry’s visa should have been denied or revoked because he admitted to using cocaine, mushrooms, and other drugs." Rahmani added that there was "no exception for royalty or recreational use."

However, Prince Harry *may* be off the hook due to the fact that there were never any criminal convictions. Texas-based immigration lawyer Sam Adair also told Page Six that it was "unlikely that these admissions will present a problem." Attorney James Leonard shared the same belief as Adair, telling the pub that revealing in a book that "you experimented with drugs when you were a young man" would not be enough evidence for immigration officials to launch an investigation.

Piers Morgan Weighs In On Prince Harry's Drug Use Confessions

Piera Morgan briefly touched on the potential consequences on an episode of Piers Morgan Uncensored earlier this month, after the rumors that he could have his US visa taken away due to the drug confessions started swirling. "If there’s been an advert for not taking drugs, it’s old Harry isn’t it," the 57-year-old controversial British broadcaster said. "US border agents take a dim view of drug use by non-US citizens," he continued, adding, "Another compelling reason why we don’t want them at the King’s coronation – we might end up being stuck with them for good."

What Has Prince Harry Said About His Past Drug Use?

There were many bombshell revelations in Spare, with some of them being that Prince Harry "drank heavily," and had taken cocaine, magic mushrooms, and smoked marijuana when he was younger, although he admitted to trauma expert Gabor Maté that he experimented with psychedelics well into his adulthood, and called hallucinogenic drugs a "fundamental" part of his life.

Prince Harry discussed the drug revelations in several promotional interviews this year, including the interview he gave Anderson Cooper for 60 Minutes. "It was obvious to us as kids the British press' part in our mother's misery and I had a lot of anger inside of me that luckily, I never expressed to anybody. But I resorted to drinking heavily. Because I wanted to numb the feeling, or I wanted to distract myself from how… whatever I was thinking. And I would, you know, resort to drugs as well," he told Cooper.

When Cooper said, "You write in the book about psychedelics, Ayahuasca, psilocybin, mushrooms?" the father-of-two responded: "I would never recommend people to do this recreationally. But doing it with the right people if you are suffering from a huge amount of loss, grief or trauma, then these things have a way of working as a medicine."

"They showed you something. What did they show you?" Cooper asked, to which Harry replied: "For me, they cleared the windscreen, the windshield the misery of loss. They cleared away this idea that I had in my head that – that my mother, that I needed to cry to prove to my mother that I missed her. When in fact, all she wanted was for me to be happy."
