"I'd been at that house for many, many, many years," says Perry. This was before the wedding, and I sent her a note, just praying for her just to be able to move through it, and hold on, and let her know that everything in her life had prepared her for this moment, or so I thought." "I could hear the fear. I could hear it," says Perry. It was crazy." "He's like, 'My house is safe, and I'll make sure you have security, and you take your time,'" recalls Markle. We were there for six weeks, and no one knew. I was just crying and crying. [Part 2 of the docuseries Harry & Meghan](https://ew.com/tv/harry-and-meghan-shocking-moments-netflix-doc/), which [premiered today on Netflix](https://ew.com/entity/netflix/), reveals that the actor-writer-director offered for the titular royal couple to stay at his Los Angeles house in the spring of 2020 before he even met them. When my life changed and success started to come, family members became different people, and I know how hurtful that could be, and how horrible it could be. Says Markle, "I'd never met him before. "So I asked her what was she afraid of, and she took a deep breath, and she started listing the things that [she was] afraid of, and I said to her, 'Every one of your fears are valid.'"
