The Duke of Sussex shared his struggles with Oprah Winfrey in an interview for their new series, 'The Me You Can't See.'
Harry, who was 12 years old at the time of Princess Diana's death, recalls being "so angry with what happened to her."
The pressures of royal life caught up to him during his late 20s and early 30s, causing him to suffer from severe anxiety and panic attacks.
"I was willing to drink, I was willing to take drugs. I was willing to try and do the things that made me feel less like I was feeling." Prince Harry, via 'The Me You Can't See'.
"I would probably drink a week's worth in one day on a Friday or a Saturday night, Prince Harry." via 'The Me You Can't See'.
Harry and his wife, Meghan, decided to forfeit their life as working royals in 2020.
It was later revealed that the roles were "destroying" their mental health.
Meghan even told Winfrey in March that she had considered suicide at one point.
'The Me You Can't See' aims to destigmatize the mental health struggles we face.
Other celebrities to share their stories on the series include Lady Gaga, Glenn Close and DeMar Rozan.
