Prince Harry’s Deeply Private Therapy Session (That You Can Watch for £17)

by Nick Dixon
5 March 2023 3:00 PM

Prince Harry has been doing some very personal inner work that everyone can watch on the internet for £17.

The price also includes his deeply private tell-all autobiography, Spare. He has chosen to do this with Gabor Maté, a far-left trauma expert who makes Jeremy Corbyn look like a moderate. The Spectator believes it is a match made in heaven:

In the 18th Century, the well-to-do and prurient enjoyed visiting London’s most notorious hospital, Bedlam, to gaze at its patients. Today, we have replaced this unwholesome activity with a live-streamed therapy session between Prince Harry and the so-called ‘trauma expert’ Gabor Maté, the Canadian author of The Myth of Normal. Maté is both an acknowledged expert in the field of mental health and someone whose personal politics have led to many a raised eyebrow.

He has compared Hamas to “my heroes, the poorly armed fighters of the Warsaw ghetto”, and praised those well-known lifelong anti-racists Jeremy Corbyn and Roger Waters. Additionally, he’s declared that “I am arrogant. I like attention.” Does this make him the perfect sounding board – or sparring partner – for the Duke of Sussex?

During the course of Harry and Maté’s conversation (tickets, £20 each), which predictably started late but, as if in recompense, lasted a punitive half-hour longer than billed, there was discussion of many of the themes from Spare.

It was notable that this was only the second time that the two men had talked, but for the most part they seemed entirely at home in one another’s company, exchanging therapy-speak and jocular badinage with practiced ease.

The only awkward moment came when, referring to the Duke’s military service, Maté said “I didn’t particularly align with the West’s invasion of Afghanistan, in which you participated”; the pause that followed suggested both wished that statement had remained unuttered.

There were no revelations. Harry, dressed casually and seeming more relaxed than in his previous filmed interviews, spouted his usual platitudes and greeting card aphorisms: “99.9% of us on planet Earth are carrying round some form of grief, trauma or loss – the sooner we realise that, the sooner we can all get along.” “I am grateful to have been able to change my environment, but it comes down to resource.” “I felt strange being in this container, and I know that my mum felt the same.”

Of course, anyone would sympathise with Harry over the loss of his mother. What’s less clear is why we keep having to hear about every dimension of his inner world. And why we should pay for it.

A line the Spectator misses, which has been reported elsewhere, is Harry’s claim that “I’m not a victim and I’m not looking for sympathy”. One wonders how he would behave if he was.

It seems Maté made some bold claims during the session:

At another point Maté said, with a touch of Chris Morris’s Brass Eye, that “racism causes inflammation in the body… it causes all kinds of disease”. And he engaged in some impromptu diagnosing of Harry’s various personal issues, based on Spare. This included suggesting that the Duke had ADD, anxiety and panic disorder, depression and issues with substance abuse, although, mindful of the potential for negative publicity arising from the latter, he hastily clarified: “I’m not saying that you’re an addict.”

The Sunday Times will no doubt be displeased (or not) that both men engaged in a session of rubbishing the paper after it ran a story questioning Maté’s professional credentials, and there was a good laugh to be had when Maté casually remarked, of Harry’s memoir, “I didn’t care about the royal melodrama… I’ve seen The Crown.”

But there was no outrageous moment to compare to the revelations in Spare, which this event was designed to promote. Instead, we heard Harry’s truth all over again, were told about his love of therapy (“it’s great!”) and, naturally, there was a paean of praise for his absent wife: “My partner is an exceptional human and I am eternally grateful for her wisdom and the space that she is able to give to me.”

That last sentence makes me wonder if Harry has left Meghan without me knowing it. But of course, we will always know absolutely everything that Harry does, forever.

Worth reading in full if only to avoid having to watch the thing.

Purely in the spirit of livening up a non-thread, because the article is evidently uninteresting AF to everyone, I will unapologetically do another off-territory dump here.

This is a cracking round-up of memes and links, old and new. Something for everyone, which I hope is a tad more interesting than ’50 shades of drab’ Harry;

“99.9% of us on planet Earth are carrying round some form of grief, trauma or loss – the sooner we realise that, the sooner we can all get along.”

– One of whom is his own brother, with whom he can’t get along.

What a desperately silly boy.

If he’d called his biography “Up Yours, Ma’am”, I would’ve bought that. And a few more for Christmas presents.

Are people really still interested in this drivel? A slimmed down monarchy after the death of the Queen was always on the cards. We can do without the hangers on.

I’ve analysed Harry as well. My conclusion is “he’s got a screw loose.”
