Prince Charles has won widespread praise for his reaction when he learned of his younger son’s drug use last summer: He sent Harry to visit a rehabilitation center to talk with recovering addicts.
Harry, who was 16 at the time of the incident, admitted drinking with friends at a pub near his father’s Highgrove country estate and smoking marijuana, the News of the World tabloid reported.
