And that’s not the only time Mayte questioned Prince’s antics. Mayte wrote in her tell-all that towards the end of their marriage in 2000, she found pills in their hotel room and he was “horribly sick to his stomach.” He told her to go back to the hotel room “and flush them down the toilet.” This “strange” behavior continued until she ended their union.
