Harry said therapy had helped him but he realised he was "more and more distant from loved ones".

The Duke of Sussex was speaking for the first time.

since he and wife Meghan were ordered to quit their UK base Frogmore Cottage.

In a live internet chat with trauma guru Gabor Maté, Harry: Admitted he'd used psychedelic drugs to relax and previously took cocaine for a "sense of belonging".

Was not playing the victim nor looking for sympathy.

Said that opening up about his trauma "was an act of service".

Said he finally feels "free... better now than ever" and "so strong".

Insisted he could not be himself as a royal and always "felt different".

Appeared to question the war in Afghanistan and said he was a good fit for the Army because "we tend to recruit from broken homes".

Said Meghan was an "exceptional human being" who saved him from being "stuck in this world".

Harry's comments in the £20 pay-per-view livestream are set to cause a deeper rift with Charles and brother Prince William.

He told Canadian author Dr Maté how he realised he needed to escape after undergoing therapy.
