Revelations from Diana's former butler concerning Meghan Markle's true identity. As many of you know, Paul Burrell was Princess Diana's most trusted confidant and butler for many years. After her tragic death in 1997, he remained largely silent about his years serving the People's Princess. However, he recently broke that silence in a tell-all interview.
According to Paul, Prince Harry dragged him into their ongoing drama by making unfounded accusations against him to Meghan. This prompted Paul to set the record straight about some home truths regarding the Duchess of Sussex. It all started a few months ago when Harry reportedly reached out to Paul angrily, accusing him of selling private stories about their mother to tabloid newspapers many years ago.
Paul maintains this is completely untrue and that all the information in his books came directly from conversations he had with Diana herself. Nevertheless, Harry was said to be furious and claimed Paul had betrayed Diana's memory by supposedly revealing private matters for money. When Paul tried to defend himself and explain that all the material was approved by Diana, Harry refused to listen.
The prince then allegedly told Paul that Meghan had done some research on him and advised Harry not to believe a word the former butler said because he couldn't be trusted. This really upset Paul, who had been mourning Diana for over 20 years. He felt angry that Harry was attacking his character based on the mere words of his wife, whom Paul believes has been deceiving the prince from the very beginning.
It was at this point that Paul decided the world deserved to hear some home truths about Meghan Markle that had been suspiciously swept under the rug by the royal family and British press. In his interview, Paul revealed that before meeting Harry, Meghan had been engaged to someone else from a wealthy family here in the UK. Her name used to be Meghan Smith, not Meghan Markle, and she came from a working-class background in America.
Paul said that Meghan got her big acting break by seducing the wealthy son of a British Lord, who was around 10 years her senior. They embarked on a whirlwind romance and were engaged within months. However, it all fell apart very publicly when it was revealed that Meghan had been involved with another man throughout most of their relationship. According to Paul, this is when Meghan decided to completely reinvent herself.
She jettisoned her old life and family in America, changed her name to Meghan Markle to sound more aristocratic, cultivated a new posh accent, and set her sights on landing a prince instead of just the son of a lord. Paul says Meghan's endgame was always to marry royalty or great wealth, and she saw Harry as her ticket to become globally famous and financially secure.
At first, Paul says Meghan was wary of Harry due to his reputation as a bit of a party prince, but she softened him up with her American charm and seemingly feminist ideals about charity work. Paul admits Meghan is very beautiful and intelligent, but also incredibly manipulative. She carefully crafted her image as a modern biracial princess while secretly whitewashing her past and working-class roots.
Even her racial heritage was blown out of proportion by the media at her urging. According to Paul, the royal family knew about Meghan's past deception and jilted ex-fiance but turned a blind eye due to the positive publicity she generated as a mixed-race addition to the monarchy. They wanted to maintain the illusion that Harry had found his soulmate rather than expose Meghan for allegedly being a social climber hell-bent on fame and fortune.
Paul said Diana would have seen straight through Meghan's act but unfortunately wasn't around to protect her son. While Paul admits he has no proof, he suspects that over the past two years, Meghan has slowly manipulated Harry away from his family and friends, filled his head with talk of leaving the UK, and encouraged their dramatic exit from royal life.
Something Paul says Meghan has likely been planning since day one. He believes she used her maternity leave last year to finalize deals like the lucrative Netflix and Spotify contracts while publicly blaming the press for her unhappiness. However, Paul insists Meghan's real motivation has always been money and celebrity rather than helping others like she claims.
He points out that she quickly trademarked Sussex Royal merchandise and is now living lavishly in California while leaving Harry largely friendless, disconnected from family, and estranged from his homeland under her supposed guidance.
