He said: "So much of what Meghan is, and how she is, is so similar to my mum She has the same compassion, she has the same empathy, she has the same confidence. She has this warmth about her."
He also said: "I accept that there will be people around the world who will fundamentally disagree with what I've done and how I've done it, but I knew that I had to do everything I could to protect my family, especially after what happened to my mum. You know, I didn't want history to repeat itself."
Harry's emotional words struck a chord with some viewers, who shared their thoughts on Twitter. @ebonysmidnights tweeted: "This Harry and Meghan doc is making me cry."
