‘Outsider’ Prince Harry branded ‘poisonous,’ told he’s ‘not welcome’ in the UK: royal expert

Paul Burrell, the former butler to Princess Diana and footman to the late Queen Elizabeth II, has taken another swing at Prince Harry.The 65 year old's latest dig comes amid the recent verdict following Harry's legal battle with the Home Office. Back in February 2020, the Duke of Sussex took legal action after the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec) decided he should receive a downgraded level of protection when visiting the UK.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who moved to Montecito, California, after stepping down as senior royals in 2020, have been supported by six close celebrity friends throughout their journey. Since leaving the Royal Family, Harry and Meghan have built a new life for themselves and their two children in the US.They've also teamed up with big companies like Spotify and Netflix on a number of exciting projects. The couple has released a podcast, a revealing docuseries, and an explosive memoir since stepping back from their royal duties - as well as giving a number of tell-all interviews.

During the last four years, several relationships between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and members of both of their families have deteriorated - namely with both of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet's grandfathers, King Charles and Thomas Markle. It is these important relationships which the young royals - who are aged just four and two - are missing out on.

A new documentary has claimed Prince Harry "doesn't see his part in the family bust-up".The programme, which is titled Prince Harry's Mission: Life, Family, and the Invictus Games, also dubbed Prince William as "jealous" of Harry's success with Invictus and even claimed that King Charles doesn't have a relationship with his grandchildren Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Following on from the new show - which is streaming on Disney-owned platform Hulu - former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond spoke to OK! about the suggestion that Harry does not understand the part he has played in the events of the last four years.

could make a swift return to the royal fold as the family navigates several health woes.“The King has made it very clear that [Harry] is part of his family and always will be part of his family, but as far as the working part goes, that will be something that we will only see over time,” Grant Harrold, who worked for Charles for seven years when he was the Prince of Wales, exclusively told The Post.“It is possible that given recent events, with the King not being 100% and he’s now relying on other members of the family, he could ask Harry to take on other duties.”“Remember, Prince Harry is still a senior member of the royal family — he’s not a working member of the royal family, but he is still very much a member of the family and Counsellor of State, which means he’s able to step in when the King is unable to perform his duties,” Harrold added.The former royal butler added that the father of two — who this week lost his bid for taxpayer-funded UK security protection for his family — is still “privy to top-secret information” — despite being estranged from most of his loved ones.“Technically, he is able to step in for the King.

When Prince Harry left his Royal role in 2020, everything changed - not least his hotly-debated security arrangements.The Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec) has decided he would no longer be given the "same degree" of publicly-funded protection when in the UK. In a bid to change his level of personal security, Harry launched a High Court challenge - but on Wednesday, February 28, a judge rejected the duke's case and concluded Ravec's approach was not irrational nor procedurally unfair - although Harry will appeal, the Mirror reports.The ruling came as part of a 52-page partially redacted document, which sheds light on Harry's case and how retired High Court judge Sir Peter Lane came to his decision....
