Earlier this year Prince Harry stated in a Sunday Times article that dating is something that filled him with "massive paranoia ... if or when I do find a girlfriend, I will do my utmost…to ensure that me and her can get to the point where we're actually comfortable with each other before the massive invasion that is inevitably going to happen into her privacy," he explained. The other concern is that even if I talk to a girl, that person is then suddenly my wife, and people go knocking on her door."
Immediately after rumours began circulating that Meghan Markle may be in a relationship with Prince Harry, no stone was left unturned to confirm this. Meghan, her family and her friends were all harassed by the prying eye of the media. Prince Harry came to her defence immediately, and asked the British Press to respect the actresses privacy. By doing this, he confirmed that he and Markle are indeed in a relationship.
