Prince Harry row: Friend's brother dismisses drugs rumours

A brother of Prince Harry's friend Guy Pelly today dismissed reports claiming some of the Prince's friends regularly took hard drugs.

The brother, who did not wish to be named, said claims that the prince’s associates took ecstasy, cocaine and designer club drug GHB, were ‘‘rubbish’’.

At his home in East Malling, Kent, he added that the family would be making no further comment about the furore over Prince Harry.
