PRINCE Harry last night insisted he does not see himself as a “victim” and that sharing his life story was “an act of service”.

Since leaving the Royal Family, Harry has taken part in an explosive Oprah Winfrey interview, published a memoir and released a six-part Netflix series about his life with wife Meghan.

But he denied suggestions he was “wallowing in self-pity” and said he hoped that sharing his story would “help empower and encourage others”.

In an extraordinary 90-minute conversation with controversial trauma expert Dr Gabor Maté, the Prince revealed:

• How he disliked cocaine as it did nothing for him but could see the benefits of marijuana and psychedelic drugs;

• How he always felt different to other family members and, since his therapy, believes they speak a different language to him;

• How he “smothers” his children with the love he believes he was denied from his own father.

Harry was speaking on a live web broadcast available to paid subscribers, who were also sent a copy of Spare, his explosive best-selling memoir.

The “intimate” £17-a-head virtual conference was billed as a conversation about “living with loss and the importance of personal healing”.
