Following the release of the teaser for their “explosive” royal-bashing Netflix docuseries, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have come under fire for their royal titles, according to Princess Diana’s former butler Paul Burrell.
During a TalkTV interview with New York Post columnist Piers Morgan, the ex-servant revealed the shocking revelation.
“You’re King Charles, what on earth do you [do] given that one of these two people trying to ruin everything you represent is your own son?” asked Morgan.
“You’re King Charles, what on earth do you [do] given that one of these two people trying to ruin everything you represent is your own son?” prompted Morgan, 57, who also hosts “Piers Morgan Uncensored” on Fox Nation.
“You take away the titles, I agree with you, you do,” replied the retired royal aide, 64, who worked for the United Kingdom’s royal family for 21 years, most notably serving as the butler to Princess Diana until her death in 1997. “They don’t want to be members of the royal family, so why should they trade on royal titles?”
His remarks came ahead of the release of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s highly anticipated Netflix docuseries “Harry & Meghan,” coming out Dec 8. It will reportedly discuss how the pair were allegedly “bullied by the palace,” among other alleged bombshells, sources told Page Six.

Markle, 40, and Prince Harry, 37, arrived in New York City over the weekend to receive the 2022 Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Ripple of Hope Award on Dec. 6 for exemplifying “equity, justice and human rights” by allegedly taking a stand against the monarchy.
However, Burrell was less than impressed with their docuseries, which he claimed “smacked of self-obsessed narcissism.”
The former aide also declared that Princess Diana would have applauded Prince Harry for “protecting his family” but “wouldn’t have applauded what he is doing now.”
“The commercialism around it,” he said, noting that she “never took a penny from anyone else.”
