Prince Harry tripped on mushrooms in Courteney Cox’s house

Jan 11 2023

Following the release of his memoir ‘Spare’, Prince Harry made more shocking revelations after the early leaks revealed various bombastic experiences.

This time around, it was revealed that the Duke of Sussex had undergone a psychedelic experience whilst staying at Courteney Cox’s house.

That’s right, Prince Harry was staying at the house of the sitcom star who played Monica Geller. And he and his buddy had a pretty wild night after breaking into a box of mushrooms.

They were invited to Cox’s house after the actress invited his friends, with Harry himself taking on the opportunity. He even wrote about having a crush on the actress and how he considered himself ‘a Chandler.’

Harry and his friend later spotted a huge box of ‘black diamond mushroom chocolates’, which he and his mate grabbed several of and washed them down with tequila.

Harry had an ‘amazing’ experience, thinking that the bin had transformed into a head whereas his friend was scared out of his mind thinking his coat had turned into a dragon.

Harry’s memoir became the fastest selling non-fiction book in just a matter of hours upon release, with the book detailing inner conflicts between the royal siblings, time served in the military and other drug related escapades.

“Demonic” son-in-law allegedly ordered daughter to rape her mum with broomstick

Jan 11 2023

Man who stands accused of sexually assaulting his mother-in-law while tormenting the family in 2019 when he was 18 years old, is pleading not guilty to very serious accusations. Allegedly, the now 22-year-old, raped the mother, and forced her to perform sexual activities with her daughter whilst holding them hostage inside their own home. This trial began in Maltese Courts this Monday, without a panel of jurors, at the defence’s request.

In a statement given to police, the accused said that the devil’s voice wasn’t his and that it did not always speak in Maltese. The voice used to tell him to clean the garden. Once, “the voice” directed his sister-in-law to bring a broom and insert it into her mother. When he heard the voice, the accused claimed to be scared. His own mother had told him to leave that house with “the voice” because she heard rumours about his girlfriend and her mother.

Girlfriend’s Testimony: She was 14-years-old when she started dating the accused. In her testimony, the girlfriend explained that the “demon” behaviour started after the family watched ‘The Nun’ in a cinema. In court, she claims that together with her mum and sister, she was forced to drink whisky until vomiting, undress clean up. Allegedly, the accused had ordered her and her sister to shower together, cut her mother with a knife and whipped her until she was visibly hurt. She claims he treated her poorly and demanded rough sex.

Sister-in-law’s Testimony: Testifying in court, she claimed to have been unable to leave the household, since the front door was locked and keys were missing. Allegedly, she and her mother were ordered to perform sexual acts on each other. According to the sister-in-law, they were also ordered to lie naked, before being showered in cold water and left in-front of a fan.

Mother-in-law’s Testimony: Claims to have been forced to cook for the accused, and beaten with a whip. Her eldest daughter was ordered to sexually assault her with a broomstick.

The name of the man and the victims can’t be named since court issued a media publishing ban.
