Me sharing my trauma is an act of service

PRINCE Harry last night heaped more misery on King Charles and the Royal Family by suggesting they speak "a different language".

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 at 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".
