A doctor told Prince Harry that he believes he has an Attention Deficit Disorder during a live question and answer session.
The claim came during a video event to promote his recently released memoir, Spare. Harry was informed of Dr Gabor Mate's diagnosis and responded with: "Okay. Should I accept that or should I look into it?"
The expert in trauma and childhood development told the prince: "Whether you like it or not, I diagnosed you with ADD. It takes one to know one, so I share that diagnosis," reports the Mirror.

More commonly known as ADHD, Attention Deficit Disorder is a neurological disorder that typically causes difficulty focusing and impulsive or erratic behaviour.
The condition affects roughly one in 50 adults in the UK and the Q&A in which Harry was involved of his apparent ADD came a month after his highly-anticipated book was released.
Within the book, Harry hit out at his family, recalled the aftermath of his mother's death and accused his brother Prince William of physically attacking him and King Charles of refusing to hug him after Diana died.
Harry sat down with Dr Mate on Saturday March 4 to discuss living with loss and the importance of personal healing.
As well as a renowned speaker, Dr Mate is the author of The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, & Healing in a Toxic Culture, a book investigating the connection between mental and physical health.
Harry's late mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, died in a car crash in Paris in 1997 when the duke was just 12 years old.
In Spare, which was written with the help of a ghost writer, Harry described how difficult it was to deal with her death and he described the princess as his "guardian angel" and said she is with him "all the time".
The duke and his wife, Meghan, have also spoken about the baby they lost when the duchess suffered a miscarriage in the summer of 2020, a year after her first son Archie was born.
During the event the Prince answered pre-submitted questions from the audience which were read out by the moderator.
Tickets costed £17 plus a £2.12 fee for UK customers, which included a copy of the book.
