Meghan Markle's former hairdresser says watching the relationship between the duchess and Prince Harry made him believe in soulmates.
George Northwood worked with Markle for two years until she left the UK, accompanying her on royal tours around the world.
In an article for Grazia, he wrote: "I learned so much about myself working with her and Harry. And actually, one of those lessons was what true love really is.
"They're really such a together team — watching them with everything that's been thrown at them, it made me believe in love and soulmates."
According to Northwood, during his time working with Markle, he became part of her and Harry's inner circle.
"Over the years, and along with Harry, we've developed an authentic relationship during what has been such a big adventure," he said.
"You really feel like you're part of their team."
Northwood described Markle as "caring," "sweet," and "silly," saying that she was often "in fits of giggles."
The Duke and Duchess also jumped out and surprised him for his birthday, he wrote.
During the times when the couple were facing the most severe scrutiny from some of the press and public, Northwood said he tried to be a friend to Markle.
"The hairdresser relationship is very personal, you want to be someone people feel at ease with and trust," he said.
"That was important to me when everything around them got relentless.
"They try to focus on the good in the moment, but she's human, and there were times when she needed support and I would be there for her."
George Northwood did not immediately reply to Insider's request for further comment.
