Princess Diana could, reportedly, heal the ongoing rift between Prince William and Prince Harry next year.
During an interview with Closer UK for its Dec. 16 issue, former royal butler Paul Burrell said that Princess Diana is the only person that could end the siblings’ feud.
Next year, Prince William and Prince Harry will reunite at the unveiling of Princess Diana’s statue in Kensington Palace Gardens on what would’ve been her 60th birthday.
According to Burrell, the unveiling of the statue will force Prince William and Prince Harry to reunite. So, in a way, it’s like Princess Diana is the one reuniting the brothers.
The former royal butler also claimed that the unwavering love for Prince William and Prince Harry will heal the hurt surrounding the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Burrell also said that he hopes Prince William and Prince Harry could finally get on and become the strong unit that the public used to see.
Meanwhile, Burrell also weighed in on The Crown and how Princess Diana’s life drew parallels with Markle.
He said that even though a lot of people were questioning the accuracy of The Crown, he witnessed some of the issues on the show while working for Prince Charles and Princess Diana at Kensington Palace from 1987 to 1997.
Burrell said that it is true that Prince Charles didn’t care about Princess Diana. And the heir to the throne was never affectionate towards his wife.
The former royal butler added that he witnessed the Queen Mother ignore Princess Diana and said that the two female royals were never close.
As for Princess Diana and Markle, Burrell said that the struggles that the latter faced are similar to what the late royal experienced.
Since both Princess Diana and Markle are outsiders, they struggled to adapt to their royal lives.
However, the Princess of Wales had more leverage than Markle because she’s British and she also came from a family of aristocrats.
Markle, on the other hand, is an African-American divorcee, who used to work as an actress in Hollywood.
However, Burrell also made it clear that what he said about The Crown is based solely on his observations.
After all, several experts are convinced that the hit Netflix series is being used to cash in on the royal family.
As such, experts are encouraging the people behind the show to include in every episode that The Crown is a work of fiction.
