ST. JAMES’S PALACE, the official residence of Prince Charles, said the matter was now closed.
“This was a serious matter which was resolved within the family and is now in the past and closed,” a spokesman told the Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
According to the News of the World tabloid, Charles made the decision after discovering the 17-year-old prince, who is third in line to the throne, had used marijuana and had also been drinking at a pub near Charles’ Highgrove country estate in western England.
Marijuana use is illegal in Britain and the legal drinking age is 18. Harry was 16 when he confessed to his father last summer, the newspaper reported.
There was no suggestion Harry needed treatment at the center, but merely chatted with addicts during a daylong visit to learn about the dangers of drugs.
The newspaper said Harry experimented with marijuana over a two month period at Highgrove, in a rundown shed at a nearby pub and at private parties held by friends.
Charles was often away on business and Harry’s brother Prince William was away traveling on a “gap” year between leaving school and starting university, the newspaper said.
’STRONG MARIJUANA SMELL’
Charles was alerted to his son’s behavior by a Highgrove member of staff, who noticed a strong smell of marijuana, the newspaper reported.
He took swift action, confronted the young prince and took him to a drug rehabilitation center in south London, where he spent a day talking with addicts.
He has not used drugs since, the newspaper said, quoting an unidentified family friend.
Prime Minister Tony Blair praised Prince Charles on Sunday for the way he handled the incident.
Blair, whose own son Euan, then 16, was arrested when police found him drunk and vomiting in central London in July 2000, said the teen-age heir to the British throne had faced a difficult situation.
“I think the way that Prince Charles and the royal family have handled it is absolutely right and they have done it in a very responsible and, as you would expect, in a very sensitive way for their child,” Blair said.
PRESS FIELD DAY
The royal family’s revelations threw Britain’s press into a frenzy on Sunday.
Tabloid and broadsheet papers alike splashed accounts of what was said to have occurred at the Highgrove country estate and a nearby pub across their front pages.
The story was hardly the beginning Queen Elizabeth would have wanted to the jubilee year marking the 50th anniversary of her accession to the throne.
Last year the queen’s youngest son Edward angered the family when his television company ignored an agreement not to harass Prince William at university.
Edward’s wife, Sophie Wessex, who ran a public relations company, also fell foul of the establishment last year when she was caught by a journalist disguised as an Arab sheikh making disparaging remarks about politicians and the royal family.
Harry, a student at the exclusive Eton College school, was just 12 when his mother was killed a year after divorcing Charles. His brother William, 19, is studying at St Andrews University in Scotland.
