Paul Burrell, the man who walked the halls of the palace alongside our beloved Queen Elizabeth and Princess Diana, has just revealed one of the most shocking royal disputes we’ve ever heard.
For those unfamiliar, Paul Burrell isn’t just another royal commentator. He was there—right in the heart of the palace, witnessing everything firsthand. When he speaks, we listen, because he knows exactly what goes on behind those grand royal doors. And what he’s just shared about Harry and Meghan’s behavior toward the late Queen is truly astonishing.
Burrell has confirmed what many of us suspected all along: Queen Elizabeth herself specifically asked Harry and Meghan not to use their royal titles for commercial gain. Think about that for a moment. The Queen—Harry’s grandmother, a woman who devoted her entire life to service—made this simple, reasonable request. And what did Harry and Meghan do? They completely ignored her wishes.
The sheer audacity of it all! Here we have Meghan and Harry, who couldn’t run fast enough from their royal duties, claiming they wanted privacy and independence, yet clinging to their royal titles like a lifeline in Hollywood. It’s like quitting your job but still wanting to use the company credit card—it just doesn’t work that way.
Burrell made an excellent point when he compared Meghan and Harry to Princess Diana. Now there was a royal who carried herself with grace and dignity. Diana didn’t need a title to be adored by millions. She was simply Diana, and that was enough. Sadly, this lesson seems to have been completely lost on Meghan and her "puppet prince."
Let’s talk about the infamous Sandringham Summit. Can you imagine being there? Our beloved Queen, in her later years, dealing with the loss of Prince Philip, was forced to mediate this family drama. The thought of her having to handle such turmoil in her golden years is heartbreaking. And for what? A Netflix deal? A Spotify podcast that fizzled out faster than a soggy scone?
Even royal expert Christopher Andersen has weighed in, stating there’s no way back for Harry and Meghan. At best, Harry might be treated like Prince Andrew if he tried to return—a sobering thought, isn’t it?
What’s infuriating is how Harry and Meghan want the privileges of royalty without the responsibilities. They’re running their own “discount monarchy” from Montecito, as if being royal is just a brand to be monetized. But as Queen Elizabeth wisely said: “You’re either in or you’re out.” There’s no part-time position in the monarchy, no matter how much Meghan might wish for one.
And let’s not forget the timing of all this. While the Queen was in her final years, dealing with personal loss, Harry and Meghan were busy building their brand—using the very titles the Queen specifically asked them not to exploit. The disrespect is staggering.
Meanwhile, William and Catherine are setting an example of what it truly means to be royal—serving with dignity and grace. The contrast is stark. It’s like comparing a fine vintage wine to a cheap bottle of grape juice.
Paul Burrell’s revelations highlight a fundamental misunderstanding on Harry and Meghan’s part: being royal isn’t about titles or tiaras. It’s about service, duty, and putting others before yourself. King Charles, Queen Camilla, William, and Catherine understand this perfectly. But Harry and Meghan? They see royalty as a commodity to be sold.
The saddest part? It didn’t have to be this way. If Harry and Meghan had listened to the Queen, if they had followed Diana’s example, they could have been something truly special. Instead, they’ve chosen a path of constant controversy and commercial exploitation.
Every time they use their titles for another venture, they prove their critics right. It’s as if they’re writing their own critique, and they don’t even realize it.
Let’s take a moment to appreciate the wisdom of Queen Elizabeth. “You’re either in or you’re out.” It’s so simple, yet so profound. There’s no middle ground in the monarchy. It’s a life of service, not self-promotion.
While William and Catherine are raising their children with strong values of duty and service, what are Harry and Meghan teaching their kids? That it’s okay to ignore your grandmother’s wishes as long as there’s money to be made?
Paul Burrell’s insights remind us of the legacy of Princess Diana. She didn’t need a title to make an impact—her actions spoke for themselves. Meghan and Harry, on the other hand, seem to believe they can bypass the hard work and simply trade on their titles.
The damage they’re doing isn’t just to themselves—it’s to the monarchy as an institution. Every time they exploit their royal connection, they chip away at its significance. It’s like selling family heirlooms at a yard sale.
