Prince Harry revealed all about a wild night of partying at Courteney Cox's house - and now she has finally broken her silence.
The Friends actress has denied giving him any drugs, so what really happened?
In his highly-anticipated autobiography Spare, Harry wrote extensively about the time he got to hang out with the Friends star.
The Duke of Sussex, who says he watched all of the Friends episodes in 2013, ended up staying at the actress' house while she was travelling.
The thought of "crashing at Monica's house" was very exciting for the Friends fanatic, but then she ended up arriving out of nowhere.

Harry then explained how he met the actor from the 'Batman Lego movie', which many people are convinced is Cox's husband Will Arnett.
After asking the actor to say something in his Batman voice, Harry claims he led him and a friend to the fridge to get a drink.
Things then took quite the twist as Harry revealed he ate some black diamond magic mushroom chocolates and washed them down with tequila.
"Someone behind me said they were for everybody," Harry recalled, who then said: "Help yourself, boys."
While the actor declined, Harry "grabbed several, gobbled them, washed them down with tequila" before going on to have a weird hallucinatory experience.

Then it became… a head. I stepped on the pedal and the head opened its mouth. A huge open grin," he wrote.
"I laughed, turned away, took a p***. Now the loo became a head too. The bowl was its gaping maw, the hinges of the seat were its piercing silver eyes. It said, 'Aaah'."
Now Courteney has revealed her account of the events - and insisted she was not involved in the mushroom gobbling.

"He did stay here for a couple of days, probably two or three. He's a really nice person," she told Variety.
She then opened up about Harry's debut memoir, adding: "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."

In Spare, Harry recalls how he text Tom Hardy asking if he could borrow the actual costume he used in the Mad Max film for a Halloween party with an Apocalypse theme.
According to Harry, the Hollywood actor questioned whether he wanted the whole thing and then duly obliged.
At the start of one section of the book, Harry drops in that he was getting an HIV test at a drop-in clinic in Barbados with none other than pop sensation Rihanna.
Harry spiced up his life in 1997 when he got the chance to hang out with the Spice Girls during a trip to South Africa.
He remembered wishing he was in bed at St. James' Palace while he was on the red carpet, then he spotted Emma Bunton in 12-inch platform heels.

The prince also said he felt a special connection with Geri Horner because she was a "fellow ginger".
Sir Elton John got a very chunky section in Spare, with Harry revealing he asked Elton to sing Candle in the Wind for the anniversary of his mother's death bot got turned down because it was too "macabre" to celebrate Diana's life and achievements.
The most dramatic part comes where Harry relives a clash he had with Elton while staying at his holiday home in France along with Meghan over the decision to serialise his book in the Daily Mail.
Coldplay singer Chris Martin, chat show queen Oprah Winfrey, Gavin & Stacey star James Corden and Argentinian actor Nacho Figueras and his wife Delfina Blaquier also get mentioned in the acknowledgements.
