The Duke of Sussex has revealed how he struggled to be his 'authentic true self' growing up, saying he felt pressure to 'come back to what you're expected to be'.
Prince Harry took part in a candid Q&A with 'toxic trauma' expert Dr Gabor Mate, during which he revealed the struggles he faced growing up.
In the £17-per-ticket livestream event that included a free copy of his memoir, Spare, he said: ‘The times I ventured towards being myself - being my authentic true self… it was almost like ‘don't be yourself'.
Come back to what you're expected to be.'
Today's event has seen the pair speak about Harry's past and the importance of 'personal healing'.
He also said that during his younger years, he felt ' slightly different to the rest of my family' and that his mother, the late Princess Diana felt the same.
The Duke of Sussex has told trauma expert Gabor Maté of his struggles to be his 'authentic true self' growing up - saying he felt pressure to 'come back to what you're expected to be' but now he feels 'incredibly free'
Asked by Dr Maté if he saw himself as a victim, Harry said: 'I certainly don't'
In today's conversation, Harry said he felt 'a great weight off my shoulders' after leaving the Royal Family
'It didn't make sense at the time - I felt as though my body was in there, but my head was out and sometimes it was vice versa.'
Dr Maté quoted a section of Harry's book where he described his frustration that no one in his family wanted to 'break free and live', asking him if he felt he had been able to do so.
Harry answered that he had, saying he felt 'a great weight off my shoulders' after leaving the Royal Family.
Dr Maté said: 'You're working hard to become more aware...
but the more you did, the more distant you become from your own family.'
Harry said that he understood that a lot of families are 'dysfunctional' but through taking part in regularly he felt like he had learned a new language, adding other members 'didn't speak that language'.
