Courteney Cox responds to Prince Harry's claims he did mushrooms at her 'wild party'

Courteney Cox has broken her silence after Prince Harry claimed he attended a "wild party" at her mansion and ended up eating some black diamond magic mushroom chocolates.

The Duke of Sussex made the claim in his tell-all memoir Spare, which hit the shelves last month, and said he ended up hallucinating after taking the drugs.

The Royal, 38, stayed at Courteney's home when he thought she was "travelling on a job", but she ended up arriving out of nowhere.

Harry said he ate the mushrooms and washed them down with tequila, before hallucinating that the silver bin in the bathroom started staring at him and had a huge grin.

Friends star Courteney, 58, has now shed some light on the incident.

"He did stay here for a couple of days, probably two or three. He's a really nice person," she said in a new interview.

She then opened up about Harry's debut memoir.

"I haven't read the book. I do want to hear it, because I've heard it's really entertaining. But yes, it got back to me about it.

"I'm not saying there were mushrooms! I definitely wasn’t passing them out," she clarified to Variety.

Harry further discussed his trip to Los Angeles in his memoir and said he was excited to stay at Courteney's house as a Friends fanatic.

Harry went on to admit he had quite the crush on Courteney and even compared them to on-screen lovers Monica and Chandler.

He wrote: "She was Monica. And I was a Chandler. I wondered if I'd ever work up the courage to tell her. Was there enough tequila in California to get me that brave?"

Elsewhere in his book, Harry also namedropped Tom Hardy, the Spice Girls and Cameron Diaz.

He also spoke fondly of Elton John who has remained close with Harry and his brother Prince William following the death of their mother Princess Diana.

The Rocket Man singer performed at Harry and Meghan's wedding reception in 2018.

The couple also revealed in the Netflix documentary that their son Archie's favourite song is Bennie And The Jets.

Elsewhere in Spare, which sold more than 3.2 million copies worldwide in its first week, Harry talked about the death of his mother, the relationship with his brother and the way in which he lost his virginity.
