Prince Harry has claimed he is "not a victim" during a recent tell-all talk that has seen the ex-active royal hope his book will "help people".
The Duke of Sussex announced the "intimate" livestream with physician and author Dr Gabor Maté earlier this week to promote his memoir, Spare, released in January of this year.
The event, hosted by publisher Penguin Random House, was set to be an "intimate conversation as they discuss living with loss and the importance of personal healing."

Dr Maté opened the conversation and noted there had been "two divergent stream of responses" to the event, those who had and had not read Spare.
Saying he was "grateful" for the Duke sharing his story, Dr Maté noted that some were "resentful" toward the prince regardless of whether they had read the book.
The Prince responded, saying: "I definitely don't see myself as a victim', adding that his experiences and his work with mental health 'sharing my story will help some people out there".
Harry added that 'it feels like an act of service' sharing his experiences through his book.
Harry and Dr Maté also discussed the Prince's childhood and fraught teenage and young adult years, which he discussed in his bombshell autobiography amid a flurry of controversy.
Spare saw the prince dish the dirt on his relatives, accusing them of intentionally leaking stories about other members of the royal household to the press.
He even alleged his brother, Prince William, had been physically violent towards him.

And it is understood the release of the book has had a devastating impact on the rest of the family, in particular King Charles.
Appearing as a guest on last week’s episode of the Pod Save The King podcast, Charles royal biographer and author Gill Knappett said: "All I can say is, he’s been hit hard, beyond hard, in fact – as any father would be.
"I just think it's a very sad private family matter that has become so public, and I'm really not sure what it was supposed to achieve."
Harry's interviewer, Hungarian-Canadian physician Dr Maté, is the author of The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, and Healing in a Toxic Culture.

A controversial figure in the States, in the past he has also worked as an ayahuasca healer, using the illegal drug to help people unpack deep-rooted trauma.
However, authorities in Canada soon learned about Dr Maté's work with the psychedelic and threatened to escalate the issue if he didn't stop his work with the drug.
