Following a toxicology test, it was uncovered that Prince Abdullah had a blood alcohol level of 222mg per 100ml of blood.
With almost three times England’s legal drink-drive limit of 80mg in his system, the inquest heard this alone could have caused a coma.
It was also found that he had a fatal level of Gamma-hydroxybutyrate, commonly known as GHB, in his system.
Tests also showed he had traces of cannabis and multiple anti-anxiety medications including Xanax.
The prince has struggled with alcohol misuse and Xanax before his death, the court heard.
He was admitted to the Priory Clinic in Roehampton in south-west London in August last year.
During his stay, he underwent detoxification from alcohol, benzodiazepines and the anti-anxiety drug pregabalin.
Consultant psychiatrist Dr Victoria Chamorro said: “He was assessed as having symptoms of low mood and anxiety on admission.
“When he was discharged he was considered not to be at risk of suicide. He was discharged with a friend but then failed to attend scheduled Zoom appointments.
“Nevertheless there was no concern for him. He engaged well and completed his treatment.”
The inquest heard he was also diagnosed with an upper respiratory tract infection before recovering and leaving the clinic.
Assistant Coroner Jean Harkin said that there was nothing to suggest the prince intended to end his life.
Concluding the inquest, Harkin recorded the death by misadventure, with the medical cause of death given as multi-drug ingestion.
She added: “I would like to offer my sincere condolences to the family of Abdullah.”
