Prince Harry is being urged to adhere to the rules of the royal family as he gears up to reunite with his relatives in person for the first time since the release of his revealing book, “Spare.”
Paul Burrell, a former royal butler with years of experience, suggested that those who do not comply with the firm’s standards are marginalized.
Speaking on the delayed announcement by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex regarding Prince Harry‘s attendance at King Charles‘ coronation, Mr. Burrell expressed concerns about the chilly reception awaiting Princess Diana‘s son in the UK.
During an interview with Spin Genie, the ex-royal butler emphasized the predicament facing Prince Harry, stating, “Harry’s got a problem because he’s going to have to sit amongst family who he’s pushed under the bus and criticized.
What kind of reception is he going to get?
A very cold and icy one, because the Windsors don’t forgive; they do hold grudges.”
He highlighted the family’s tendency to ostracize individuals who fail to conform and adhere to the established protocols, emphasizing that the King has set the guidelines which Prince Harry should follow.
The announcement made by Prince Harry and Meghan’s spokesperson on April 12th, after the RSVP deadline had reportedly passed, revealed that only the Duke would be making the journey across the Atlantic for the significant coronation event.
Mr. Burrell suggested that the Sussexes intentionally kept the media in suspense, insinuating that their continued relevance hinges on their royal status and connection to the family.
He noted that the couple’s association with royalty remains a pivotal asset that appeals to American audiences, warning that a detachment from the core royal family could potentially diminish their popularity in the US.
Following their decision to step back from public duties in early 2020 and relocate to California, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have retained their royal titles, leveraging them on various occasions such as the publication of Meghan’s children’s book, “The Bench,” and during select public appearances.
Additionally, they have chosen to bestow the titles of Prince and Princess upon their children, Archie and Elizabeth, a privilege bestowed upon them due to King Charles’ ascension to the throne.
The chasm between the Sussexes and their royal family counterparts appears to widen, with both Meghan and Harry vocalizing their grievances against the institution and certain family members through interviews and Prince Harry’s memoir released in January.
