Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have faced countless obstacles since stepping away from their Royal responsibilities.<\/p>\n
The couple’s public reputation has nosedived recently and they continue to be isolated from the Royal family – despite Harry’s recent attempts at reconciliation.<\/p>\n
Perhaps one of the most devastating incidents for the duo happened in January when Vanity Fair released their scathing article about the Sussexes, titled ‘American Hustle’. The comprehensive 8,000-word investigation outlined what life was allegedly like ‘Inside Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Big Business Ambitions, 5 Years After Their Royal Exit’.<\/p>\n

The couple denied these claims.<\/p>\n After the article’s explosive fallout, former Royal aide Paul Burrell shared his thoughts on the accusations – and on Harry himself – describing the duke as ‘difficult, petulant and spoilt’. Speaking on behalf of Prime Casino, Paul – who worked as Princess Diana’s butler from 1987 until her death in 1997 – said: “Vanity Fair is a prestigious title so to print such a damning article about Harry and Meghan is quite a precedent,” reports Birmingham Live<\/a>.<\/p>\n He added: “I know from firsthand experience how difficult Harry can be. I know how petulant he can be and how spoiled he is, because I’ve experienced that myself. He’s always lived in a bubble.”, reports the Mirror.<\/p>\n Paul also expressed his disappointment over Harry’s new ‘celebrity’ persona. “Harry and Meghan have a very privileged lifestyle. Harry has always had that and Meghan has long aspired for it. But now they share that lifestyle,” he said.<\/p>\n “I always circle back to the fact that Harry’s mother taught him long ago that the price for a privileged lifestyle is public service. Harry seems to have forgotten this lesson now he lives a celebrity Hollywood lifestyle that’s totally different from his royal one.”<\/p>\n This follows another former Royal butler disputing earlier assertions made by Harry regarding King Charles and Camilla’s nuptials.<\/p>\n After working as a butler at Highgrove for seven years from 2004 to 2011, Grant Harrold witnessed a different aspect of the Royal family, and is now set to publish his autobiography.<\/p>\n Speaking to the Telegraph, Harrold disputed Harry’s allegations in Spare that he and his brother William begged their father not to wed. Harry penned in his book Spare: “We support you, we said. We endorse Camilla, we said. ‘Just please don’t marry her. Just be together, Pa’.”<\/p>\n However, despite Harry’s complaints in the book, Harrold recalled William and Harry adorning their father’s motor with ‘Just Married’ signs with both princes running after the vehicle as the newly-weds departed following their wedding celebration.<\/p>\n The former Royal butler’s memories sharply differ from Prince Harry’s autobiography. He declared: “The four of them, I promise you, got on so well. And that’s why I don’t understand what Harry’s said, I really don’t understand.<\/p>\n “Because I saw them. I saw them having dinners together, I saw them having drinks together, I saw them going to parties together.”<\/p>\n Harrold also reflected on his time serving at Highgrove, where he witnessed the tight bond between William, his then-partner Kate, and Prince Harry.<\/p>\n “They involved him,” Harrold said. “He [Harry] used to go out with Kate. William would be away and Kate and Harry would be off doing stuff together. They’d go shopping together, they’d go to pubs together.<\/p>\n “I think when people say ‘oh he was left out’, he really wasn’t. But also he was with Chelsy [Davy, Harry’s former girlfriend]. Chelsy was always around. And Chelsy and Kate got on really well.”<\/p>\n
