Britain's Prince Harry was sent to a drugs rehabilitation clinic after he admitted to smoking cannabis and drinking alcohol, it emerged tonight.
His father, the Prince of Wales, Prince Charles, is believed to have sent his 17-year-old son to visit Featherstone Lodge Rehabilitation Centre in Peckham, south London last summer, the News of the Worldwill report in its edition tomorrow.
Charles took the decision after finding out that the prince had taken drugs at Highgrove private parties, and drank alcohol at the Rattlebone Inn, Sherston, Wiltshire, the newspaper said.
A spokesman for St James's Palace said tonight: "This is a serious matter which was resolved within the family, and is now in the past and closed."
In a separate article to be published in the Mail on SundayPrince Harry is in the centre of a police investigation into after-hours drinking at a pub near his Highgrove home.
The inquiry began after the prince, who is now 17, was allegedly involved in a mock fight during a late night pool playing session, called a French employee a "f***ing frog" and was ordered to leave the premises.
The landlady of the Rattlebone Inn in Sherston, Wiltshire, Emma Carter-Williams, reportedly told the newspaper: "Everyone knows Prince Harry's barred but I don't want to talk about it. He's not the only one."
Prince Harry is the second son of the late Princess Diana.
