Prince Harry has admitted that he not only partook in recreational bath salts with tech mogul John McAfee but then proceeded to take part in a deadly Apache attack helicopter mission in Afghanistan that resulted in the deaths of 25 people.
The startling news comes as part of his memoir, titled ‘Spare’. In the book, the Duke of Sussex reveals that he and McAfee were “living the high life” in the Caribbean and that they decided to “experiment” with bath salts during their stay.
“We thought it would be a great idea to try something new and exciting,” writes Harry. “John said he’d heard about bath salts and he had a few packets, so we decided to give it a go. It was a wild ride!”
But the fun didn’t stop there. The following day, Harry says he received orders to fly to Afghanistan and participate in an Apache attack helicopter mission.
“I was so out of it from the bath salts that I barely understood what I was doing,” he writes. “But I followed orders, and before I knew it, I was shooting down enemy targets from hundreds of feet in the air.”
The mission was a success, but it came at a steep price. When all was said and done, 25 people had been killed by Harry’s Apache attack helicopter.
“It was a terrible tragedy,” he writes. “But in hindsight, I can see that the bath salts were to blame. They clouded my judgment and made me act recklessly. I regret my actions, and I regret that so many people had to die.”
