Prince Harry latest: What did Paul Burrell say?

Paul, who previously worked as Princess Diana’s butler, claims the visit would have been “extremely difficult” for Harry.

Speaking to Closer magazine, Paul shared: “Seeing his beloved granny, the Queen, and to face his father and brother would not be easy. Even submerging himself back into the House of Windsor and the building that holds so many memories.

It will have stirred up all kinds of painful emotions for him

“It will have stirred up all kinds of painful emotions for him. He will really have felt the impact of his decision he’s made now and it’ll hit home.”

Furthermore, he added: “Meghan will be faced with that dilemma – the bombshell that Harry now feels split in two. Meghan will believe that what they’ve done is right – but Harry will be feeling totally torn and so things will now have to change.”
