"Prince Harry Must Stay Away From Drink And Drugs," Prince Charles Tells Trees, Flowers
 

The Prince of Wales has privately expressed his concern over Prince Harry's
welfare to a number of plants growing in his Highgrove House garden.

"I'm determined to raise him as a responsible, well-adjusted young adult," he
told one of his favourite trees, a silver birch. "He has to realise he is part of a
normal family."

It was recently revealed that Harry visited a drug rehabilitation centre at his
father's request, after he learned that the young prince had experimented with
cannabis and frequently drank at a local pub.

"I felt the visit would be a shock to his system, and might deter him from any
further experimentation," Charles told a row of daffodils. "What else can one
do?"

It is believed that Charles regularly confides in his plants, despite the fact that a
yew hedge that used to grow in the garden recently published a book in
collaboration with Andrew Morton in which it was highly critical of the Prince.

The small cluster of geraniums near the duck pond were unavailable for comment.
