Royal family will be horrified by Rebel Wilson’s claim a member of The Firm invited her to a drug-fuelled orgy after it revives memories of cocaine use by Prince Harry, Lord Frederick Windsor and Camilla’s son

Members of the royal family will today back down as Australian actress Rebel Wilson has claimed someone from the firm invited her to a drug-fuelled orgy at the home of an American tech billionaire in 2014.

In her new book, Rebel Rising, the Pitch Perfect star, 44, says a male member of the royal family who was “fifteenth or twentieth in line to the British throne” was “frolicking around the party where drugs were being passed around” as sweets’.

Although she did not name who it is, certain members of the family, and those close to them, have spoken publicly about drug use in the past.

Prince Harry wrote in his memoir Spare that he had used cocaine ‘a few times’. Meanwhile, both Lord Frederick Windsor and King Charles’ stepson, Tom Parker Bowles, have admitted using cocaine. There is no suggestion that these are the people Rebel is referring to.

Here, Femail looks at the royals who have spoken about drug use…

TOM PARKER BOWLES

In 1999, Camilla’s son, Tom Parker Bowles, was caught in a sting set up by the now defunct News of the World.

Tom, who was 24 at the time, was secretly filmed giving cocaine to a journalist while working at the Cannes Film Festival in France.

He also later admitted to using cocaine himself with “someone he found last night” while working in France.

Karelwho was then a patron of drug charity Phoenix House, was ‘quite angry’ and ‘swearing names at him’, according to reports at the time.

PRINCE HARRY

In addition to writing about drugs in his memoir, Spare, Prince Harry’s drug use and partying lifestyle is well documented.

In Spare, the Duke of Sussex sensationally admitted he had used cocaine ‘a few times’ during his wilder partying years.

He also admitted to using cannabis and magic mushrooms, and eventually hallucinated that a garbage can was talking to him.

He also described smoking cigarettes and cannabis and drinking on the Windsor Castle golf course while studying at Eton.

During the Golden Jubilee in 2002, the duke described being dragged into an office by an anonymous Royal staff member after a reporter inquired about his drug use.

This was also reported in February 2002 King Charles, then the Prince of Wales, sent Harry to visit Featherstone Lodge Rehabilitation Center in Peckham.

His Majesty made the decision after discovering that the prince had used drugs at parties.

In 2012, Harry enjoyed a wild weekend in Las Vegas wearing nothing but a necklace while a naked girl hid behind him after a game of strip billiards in his VIP suite.

LORD FREDERICK WINDSOR

Lord Frederick Windsor, the son of Queen Elizabeth’s cousin Prince Michael of Kent, also admitted using cocaine after he was photographed on the floor of a London club in 1999, aged 22.

Frederick was spotted snorting cocaine after succumbing to peer pressure.

The royal, who is now married to Peep Show star Sophie Winkleman, later retold the story and said he regretted it.

Frederick and his sister Lady Gabriella were taken to a drug rehabilitation center as teenagers by their mother so they could see the problems caused by addiction.

Nicholas Knatchbull

Nicholas Knatchbull, godson of King Charles and heir to the £100 million Mountbatten fortune, has struggled with the addition of drugs.

The great-grandson of Lord Mountbatten – King Charles’s godfather and very close confidant – was Prince William’s mentor at Eton.

But after leaving school he became addicted to drugs and dropped out of Edinburgh University after just six weeks.

A typical night out involves drug use, nightclubbing and often ends with him performing dangerous high-speed maneuvers in the car his father bought for him.

He previously boasted of giving Prince Harry his first cannabis joint when they were both pupils at Eton and of smoking crack when the Queen came to stay with his parents at their country home.

Over the years he has used crack cocaine, heroin, ketamine and MDMA.

Devastated, his parents tried to keep him under curfew at Broadlands, the Hampshire home where the Queen and Prince Philip spent their honeymoon, but ended up sending him to detox clinics costing up to £10,000 a week in Essex, Surrey, London, South Africa and South Africa. Arizona.

When he went on the run from The Priory, they had no choice but to put him under the Mental Health Act.

…but Kate is a patron of a drugs charity

At the same time, leading members of the Royal Family, such as the Princess of Wales, are at the helm of anti-drug charities.

Kate has previously released a message of support for people suffering from addiction, urging them not to let shame stop them from asking for help.

The Princess of Wales, patron of the charity The Forward Trust, said addiction is “a serious health condition” and “not a choice”.

Her show of support for the Taking Action on Addiction campaign comes in the form of a video on the first day of Addiction Awareness Week.

In the video, Kate, now 42, said: ‘Addiction is a serious mental illness that can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, race or nationality.

‘As a patron of The Forward Trust, I have met many people who have suffered the effects of addiction. Attitudes towards addiction are changing.
