PRINCE Harry was “very angry” and “didn’t know which way to turn” before he met Meghan Markle, a royal expert has claimed.
Appearing on Podcast Royal, biographer Andrew Morton argued that the Duke of Sussex was drifting through life and “without compass” for years.
The expert said: “Prince Harry was a very angry young man and he was taking on the world, he was taking on paparazzi photographers particularly.
“He was stumbling out of bars dishevelled and worse the wear for drink and he didn’t seem to have a compass.”
Describing how the dad-of-two “didn’t know which way to turn”, Andrew continued: “He was struggling to find himself and struggling with the loss of his mother, struggling to come to terms with it and as a young man, he wasn’t always the popular Harry of popular imagination.”
That said, Andrew claimed the Duke found a “cause in life” when he launched the Invictus Games for wounded servicemen and women in 2014.

He continued: “He’d cleaned up his act, he’d gotten involved in the Invictus Games, he had found his cause in life.
“He stuck to that, helping disabled, mentally injured soldiers and servicewomen to find themselves and I think that was something that helped him find himself.”
According to the biography Finding Freedom, the couple’s first date was at Soho’s Dean Street Townhouse in 2016.
Royal biographers Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand say the pair were “in their own little world” as they traded talk about making “change for good”, while sitting on plush “velvet club chairs”.
“‘Almost immediately they were obsessed with each other,’ a friend told the authors. ‘It was as if Harry was in a trance.'”
The couple tied the knot in Windsor in May 2018 before quitting the Royal Family in January 2020 and moving to the exclusive Californian neighbourhood of Montecito.
