Gabor Maté, 79, will join the Duke of Sussex on Saturday for an ‘intimate’ £17-a-head virtual conference to discuss ‘living with loss and the importance of personal healing’, followed by a live Q&A.
The two will discuss ‘living with loss and the importance of personal healing’, after Harry’s memoir was dominated by his account of struggling to come to terms with the loss of his mother Princess Diana.
However, the book also raised eyebrows with intimate revelations about his frost-nipped penis, and alluding to having sex with Meghan at Soho House.

According to Harry’s friend, Spanish explorers called hummingbirds ‘resurrection birds’.
