Forget The Beatles having a spliff at the Queen's pad back in the sixties - professional polymath Stephen Fry admits to snorting cocaine at Buckingham Palace during his wild years.
Fry makes the admission in his just-published autobiography More Fool Me and if giving a fine dusting to Liz's furniture wasn't enough, he also says he took class A drugs at the House of Lords, and several other high-profile institutions.
In his new book, the QI host talks about his 15-year cocaine habit in some detail. He writes: "I take this opportunity to apologise unreservedly, to the owners, managers or representatives of the noble and ignoble premises and to the hundreds of private homes, offices, car dashboards, tables, mantelpieces and available polished surfaces that could so easily have been added to this list of shame."
In the book, Fry says of the drug: "I took it because I really, really liked it." but added that he had spent "an enormous amount of time and money on cocaine" despite knowing "how stupid that is." -
