'I feel Prince Harry & Meghan Markle’s marriage will CRACK' says Paul Burrell | Palace Authorised

from Palace Confidential

As footman to the late Queen Elizabeth II, and butler to the then Prince Charles and Princess Diana, Paul Burrell had a ringside seat to some extraordinary moments in royal history. Many stories he couldn't tell while the late Queen was alive, now he wants to tell MORE of his story. He explains why he thinks Prince Harry, who he knew as a young man, and Meghan Markle have a cultural 'fault line' between them, which he believes will 'CRACK' one day. He also explains why he told Harry a jaw-dropping story about an argument between Charles and Diana that might have influenced the title of Harry's book Spare. The former Butler recounts a shocking story of how he was nearly sexually assaulted by a member of the royal household INSIDE Buckingham Palace. Burrel reveals what the late Queen's advice was to him after an early gay romance nearly cost him his job and how he once made her angry. AND Paul gives his thoughts on the big CONSPIRACY THEORIES about the death of Diana, Princess of Wales. PLUS: the one thing the Queen refused to eat on an overseas trip; Prince Philip's real opinion of Prince Charles; holding Diana's hand hours after her death; Prince Harry's reaction to being called a "spare" by his father; and the extraordinary drinking culture among staff at the Palace.
