Princess Diana’s former butler, Paul Burrell, has claimed that Prince Harry will have a “problem” at King Charles’ coronation next month because the Royal Family “don’t forgive”.
Burrell suggests that the revelations made in Harry’s book, “Spare,” and his Netflix series with Meghan Markle could make it difficult for him to appear in public with Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, Kate Middleton, and the rest of the family.
Harry accused Charles of being jealous of Meghan and Kate, criticized his parenting, accused William of physical assault, and called Camilla “dangerous” in his book.
The coronation on May 6 will be the first time Harry has been seen in public with the family since the book and series came out.
Buckingham Palace confirmed that Harry will attend the event, but Meghan will stay behind with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
Burrell believes that Harry will receive a “cold” reception from his relatives, as the Windsors “don’t forgive” and “hold a grudge.”
Burrell suggested that Harry should have attended the coronation, even if he is by himself, to do his father a favor.
He added that Meghan has a good excuse not to come, as it is Archie’s birthday on the day of the coronation.
Burrell faced criticism in Harry’s book, but his comments suggest that the Royal Family’s approach to forgiveness and reconciliation could pose problems for the Duke of Sussex.
Commentary:
The comments made by Paul Burrell, Princess Diana’s former butler, highlight the potential difficulties Prince Harry may face at King Charles’ coronation next month.
Burrell suggests that the Royal Family’s tendency not to forgive could make it challenging for Harry to appear in public with his relatives, particularly after the revelations made in his book and Netflix series.
The fact that Harry will attend the coronation alone, without Meghan, further adds to the tension surrounding the event.
Burrell’s comments reflect a broader issue concerning forgiveness and reconciliation within the Royal Family.
The Windsors’ approach to these matters may have consequences for their public image and relationships with each other.
Harry’s attendance at the coronation, despite the controversy surrounding him, may suggest a willingness to reconcile with his family members.
However, the reception he receives could impact his relationship with them in the future.
The comments made by Burrell highlight the complexities of familial relationships, particularly within the Royal Family, and how forgiveness and reconciliation can be challenging to achieve.
