The Duke of Sussex, 38, fielded questions from Dr Maté during what was described as an 'intimate conversation' about 'living with loss and personal healing'.

During the conversation, which opened with the royal insisting that he does not see himself as a victim, he said that he 'did the thing of trying to encourage everyone' in his family to have therapy.

Harry explained: 'I suddenly realised that I'd learnt a new language. And the people that I was surrounded by seemed to me that they didn't speak that language.

'So I actually felt more pushed aside and then I actually said to my therapist "okay, I've got a problem.'

He continued: 'This is working for me, and I'm starting to...go back to the point of trauma and be able to unravel and unpack everything so that I can now live a truly authentic life and be genuinely happy and be a better dad for my kids.

'But at the same time I'm I'm finally feeling more and more distant with my loved ones and my family.'
