British royal family news shows that Prince Harry is courting more controversy by hooking up with a Hungarian-Canadian doctor who has come under fire for his mental health treatment methods.
Dr. Gabor Maté specializes in addiction, stress and child development. But he has been threatened with jail time due to his controversial methods.
Royal Family News – Harry’s New Controversy
On Saturday Maté and Harry are set to discuss the topic ‘living with loss and the importance of personal healing’, followed by a live Q and A.
Organized by Harry’s publishers, Penguin Random House, takes place at 5pm UK time on Saturday March 4. The event comes on the heels of a precipitous drop in popularity for Harry and Meghan Markle. Current polls show that those asked prefer disgraced Prince Andrew to the Hollywood Hoboes.
Last year Andrew settled a New York civil case brought by his sex accuser Virginia Roberts out of court. The poll shows that 26 percent of Americans like him while 28 percent do not, numbers better than those of H and M.
Maté was born in Budapest in 1944, and his maternal grandparents were killed in Auschwitz when he was an infant. Additionally, he was taken from his mother as a baby to save his life, and his father was forced to do hard labor by the Nazis.
Royal Family News – Harry and His Interview
According to the Daily Mail, the doctor believes his past trauma, “may have shaped his ‘addiction’ to shopping for classical music,” and resulted in an inability, “to look at his mother when they were finally reunited due to feelings of ‘abandonment, rage and despair.’”

He told Classical Voice in 2013: “As I was writing about my hard-core, drug-addicted clients I was certainly able to recognize similar areas in myself and in their behaviors. Working through the emotional dynamics and being with the emptiness that addictions attempt to fill, it just helped me understand myself better.”
Maté advocates for decriminalizing drugs, and has used the Amazonian plant ayahuasca to treat patients. The psychedelic plant induces hallucinations and other side effects, including vomiting. It is illegal in the US, UK and Canada, “and in 2011 Canadian officials threatened to arrest Dr Maté if he didn’t stop using the drug to treat his patients.”
