Harry’s favourite club cracks down on drug use in loos

PRINCE Harry wrote extensively about his past use of illegal drugs in his tawdry memoirs, Spare.

I hear, however, that his favourite chain of private members’ clubs is cracking down on drug use by its fashionable members.

Soho House, where the Duke and Duchess of Sussex enjoyed their first date, sent members an email this week, warning them of its ‘strict no-drugs policy’.

So severe is the crackdown that the club has threatened to expel members found to have shared a lavatory cubicle, on the grounds that they might have been taking drugs together.

‘With an exciting summer across our UK Houses ahead, we wanted to take this opportunity to remind all of our members – both old and new – some of the important things about using your Soho House membership,’ its director, Velma Simmons, wrote.

‘We have a strict no-drugs policy across all of our Houses. Any member who’s found or believed to be buying, selling, using or possessing illegal drugs while in any of our spaces will have their membership terminated with immediate effect.

‘This also applies to anyone found in a toilet cubicle with another person.

‘Any members or guests who breach our House rules risk the member having their membership suspended or revoked.’

Jude Law and Sadie Frost’s daughter, Iris, then aged two, was rushed to hospital in 2002 after she swallowed an ecstasy tablet that she found on the floor of Soho House at a children’s birthday party.

Founded in 1995 by Nick Jones, husband of television star Kirsty Young, Soho House has grown into a chain of 42 clubs around the world, with its members including Hollywood stars.

Harry met Meghan for the first time in person at 76 Dean Street, its Soho branch.

They later stayed at Soho Farmhouse in Oxfordshire.
