And his book paints an extremely flattering picture of His Majesty, even calling into question some of what Harry said in his book <em>Spare<\/em>. Example? Grant claims William and Harry were actually happy about Charles and Camilla&#8217;s wedding, which is pretty much the opposite of what Harry has said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The four of them, I promise you, got on so well,&#8221; he <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cosmopolitan.com\/entertainment\/celebs\/a65829796\/royal-butler-prince-harry-king-charles-queen-camilla-wedding\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:wrote;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link rapid-noclick-resp\">wrote<\/a>. &#8220;And that\u2019s why I don\u2019t understand what Harry\u2019s said, I really don\u2019t understand.

It\u2019s basically saying: don\u2019t believe him, believe me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A friend of Harry&#8217;s adds &#8220;He knows it\u2019s a takedown. This is the King using loyal old staff to trash his story and make him look bitter and dishonest.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Charles&#8217; gardener Jack Stooks has also been singing the praises of his former employer, and another insider claims &#8220;They\u2019re a united front. Harrold and Stooks are shaping a narrative where Charles is dignified, Camilla adored, and Harry the unreliable son rewriting history for profit.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Take this all with a grain of salt, but&#8230;tea.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You Might Also Like<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.aol.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links.&#8221; You may or may not have noticed a lot of headlines featuring the words &#8220;royal butler&#8221; lately, and that&#8217;d be because former royal butler Grant Harrold has dropped a book literally called The Royal Butler.
