Why Princess Diana's Former Butler Issued a Warning to Prince Harry: "Lay Off Kate and William"

Princess Diana's former butler, Paul Burrell, issued a stark warning to Prince Harry, advising him to 'lay off' his sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, and brother Prince William. The caution came amidst the never-ending drama within the royal family, as reported by Radar Online. During an exclusive interview with the New York Post, Burrell, who served Princess Diana for approximately ten years before her tragic demise in 1997, drew parallels between Kate's royal life and that of the late Princess.

The former butler acknowledged the challenges of being a part of the monarchy, saying, "I understand why they are upset, because Kate went to great lengths to find out if a royal life was for her and it caused her issues, but they both worked it out and she committed herself to a life of public service." Burrell further explained his stance when he said, "This wasn't a case of fitting the mold – it's a case of finding the right person to do the job." However, expressing his concerns about Prince Harry, Burrell remarked, "Harry is not always the sharpest tool in the box, so he should lay off Kate and William." He praised Kate's commendable efforts, emphasizing, "Kate is doing an amazing job."

Moreover, Burrell's warnings extended beyond familial dynamics, cautioning Prince Harry about attacking the entire royal family. The former butler suggested that such actions might lead to regret, questioning why Meghan Markle and Harry would attempt to destroy the very institution that defined their uniqueness. Burrell concluded, "It doesn't make sense."

As the drama within the royal family continues, Burrell reflected on Prince Harry and Markle's ongoing clashes with the monarchy since their departure in January 2020. The tension reached its zenith with the release of Harry & Meghan on Netflix and the publication of Harry's tell-all memoir, Spare, causing further strain within the royal ranks.

Burrell made another explosive prediction, suggesting that Markle would inevitably pen her own memoir to share her side of the story. He anticipated, "There's going to be another bomb in the House of Windsor," emphasizing that more drama would be unleashed if and when Markle chooses to publish her memoir.

In the face of these potential revelations, Burrell reiterated his advice to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to exercise caution when dealing with the royal family. The former butler warned of the impending explosion within the House of Windsor when Markle's memoir is eventually released, stating, "Another explosion will go off when we find out that she is going to publish, and she will." In essence, the words of Princess Diana's former butler serve as a poignant reminder to Prince Harry to tread carefully in the intricate web of royal relationships and public perception, urging him to reconsider his actions and their potential repercussions.
