Prince Harry is having a ‘Spare’ livestream discussion with Dr. Gabor Maté about loss on March 4
After a flurry of promotional interviews, from late-night talk shows to 60 Minutes, in January 2023, Harry’s back in the spotlight discussing Spare. On March 4, he will participate in a livestream about loss, a major theme in Spare.
Joining him will be Dr. Gabor Maté, a speaker and bestselling author of The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, and Healing in a Toxic Culture. Titled Spare: Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex in conversation with Dr. Gabor Maté, the virtual event’s presented by Random House (the publisher of Harry’s memoir), Barnes & Noble, Waterstones, and Indigo Books & Music.
Billed as an “intimated conversation,” Harry and Maté will “discuss living with loss and the importance of personal healing,” per the event description.
Meanwhile, the royal family’s continued staying silent on Spare and the many allegations brought by Harry.
