Prince Harry spoke candidly about his recreational use of illegal drugs during a intimate chat with a toxic trauma expert.
The discussion came in a 'intimate conversation' about 'living with loss and personal healing' between the Duke and Dr Gabor Mate on Saturday evening.
Tickets to the livestream, which cost £19, included a hardback copy of the Prince's recent memoir, Spare.
The second son of King Charles said marijuana had 'really helped' him but that cocaine and alcohol were more 'social'.
The timing of the discussion is particularly awkward for the palace, coming just days after it emerged King Charles is evicting Harry and his wife Meghan Markle from Frogmore Cottage, their grace-and-favour mansion on the Windsor estate.
Asked by Dr Maté if he saw himself as a victim, Harry said: 'I certainly don't'

Trauma expert Dr Gabor Mate spoke of the way people used drugs to deal with problems in their lives before asking Harry's about his reasons for using drugs including cocaine and cannabis.
'The first one you mentioned, that didn't do anything for me, it was more a social thing.
It gave me a sense of belonging and probably also made me feel different to the way I was feeling,' Harry said.
'Marijuana is different, that actually did really help me.'
The prince said alcohol was also 'more of a social thing' and complained about peer pressure around drinking.
Dr Mate, who has faced numerous controversies in the past, denied accusations he had been threatened with arrest by the Canadian government for using Ayahuasca with his patients.
In 2011, Health Canada threatened to prosecute the trauma expert if he did not stop using the Amazonian plant to treat addiction.
In the two years before receiving the warning, Dr Mate administered the medicine to between 150 and 200 patients.
