He’s also maintained in peak physical form owing to years spent on the polo, rugby, and soccer fields, not to mention military boot camp. They were thus not surprised when Harry, 38, showed up before London’s High Court last month looking like a shadow of the man he once was.
The duke bumped into a photographer as he entered the building where he was fighting Associated Newspapers over charges of phone hacking. Harry hadn’t been seen in a while, so his return surprised everyone.

He looks older than 40,” exclaims a shocked former royal source. He is obviously weary, haggard, and worn down. When trying to figure out how the once-happy Harry’s startling shift may have occurred so fast, especially after what can only be characterized as a week from hell, friends don’t have to go far.
Harry has pledged to use multiple current conflicts with wealthy media giants to fight the British press as his “life’s work.” His current legal battle with the publisher of the Daily Mail, however, just suffered a terrible setback.
Harry’s claims of unlawful news gathering are based on a long witness statement signed in 2021 by private eye Gavin Burrows, who this week sensationally changed his tale. An observer claims, “Harry went into that courtroom looking reasonably comfortable, but he came out a completely different man.” You could see he was shaken by it.
However, Harry’s propensity for oversharing may have seriously jeopardized his new life in the US with his wife Meghan, 41, and their children Archie, almost 4, and Lilibet, who will turn 2 in June.
Harry mentions using cocaine in the past as well as doing LSD, magic mushrooms, marijuana, and ayahuasca in his autobiography Spare (a plant-based psychedelic). The Oversight Project, a US think tank, has requested information under the Freedom of Information Act to learn how Harry obtained a US visa despite his self-reported history of drug usage.
All of these narcotics are officially prohibited in the US. This information was made public last week. They query if Harry was “fully screened” and assert that his visa “may be revoked for abusing illegal substances.”
The Telegraph was quickly cited by a source in the duke’s team as saying that he provided the “truth” in his application for a US visa.
It happens at a time when Harry’s book has faced harsh criticism for disclosing personal information about the King and the Prince and Princess of Wales, casting doubt on his ability to attend his father’s coronation.
Our informant claims that Harry is under a lot of pressure—most of it self-inflicted—and that it’s just a matter of time until he breaks. Harry’s closest pals worry that this will end in tears and that no one will be around to help him pick up the pieces.
