According to Paul Burrell,
Prince Harry's struggles after losing Princess Diana led him to Meghan Markle. "For the next years going through his life, he was lost, he didn't know where love was," he said.

According to Paul Burrell, Meghan Markle reminds
Prince Harry of Princess Diana. "When he heard a 36-year-old mature American woman whisper something into his ear along the lines of 'you and I could be a great team' or 'we could change the world'. He didn't hear Meghan's voice. He heard his mother's voice," he explained. "Because Harry was always searching for love and he found it with Meghan."
