Prince Harry and Oprah Winfrey have once again joined forces for a follow-up to their Apple TV+ mental health series, The Me You Can't See.

The one-off episode, entitled The Me You Can't See: A Path Forward, will see Harry and Oprah reunite with advisors and participants for a "thought-provoking, wide-ranging conversation about mental health and emotional well-being, and where we go from here".

The pair's initial series, The Me You Can't See, dropped on Apple TV+ last Friday. Harry bared his soul in the mental health documentary, admitting that he was willing to take drugs at the most "nightmarish" period of his life and also that an argument with his wife Meghan Markle led him to start therapy.

Harry said he turned to drink to mask the pain and trauma of losing his mother Princess Diana at such a young age. "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," he said.

"But I slowly became aware that okay I wasn't drinking Monday to Friday, but I would probably drink a week's worth in one day on a Friday or a Saturday night. And I would find myself drinking not because I was enjoying it but because I was trying to mask something."

The Duke has been attending therapy sessions for the past four years, but admitted it was Meghan who encouraged him to face his trauma.

"I saw GPs. I saw doctors. I saw therapists," he said. "I saw alternative therapists. I saw all sorts of people, but it was meeting and being with Meghan. I knew that if I didn't do the therapy and fix myself that I was going to lose this woman who I could see spending the rest of my life with."
