PAUL BURRELL has revealed what he really thinks of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s relationship ahead of their wedding in May later this year.
Paul Burrell reveals shocking secret about Princess Diana's car crash
The former royal butler became the fifth star to be booted out of the Australian version of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! this weekend and following his departure gave his verdict on the couple.
He noted that he doesn’t expect an invitation, explaining: “The boys have moved on - I belonged to their world over 20 years ago.”
But Paul said he believes Meghan Markle will make a great addition to the royal family.
“As a divorced woman, as a mixed race woman, she will help to change the monarchy and bring it through into the 21st century,” he told The Sydney Morning Herald.
“I see it as the right thing at the right time. And with Harry - I like to call him the ‘people’s prince’ - I think he will come forward with Meghan and embrace the public in the way his mother did.”
He added that he sees Meghan as a “gamechanger” ahead of her nuptials to Prince Harry.
During his time in the I’m A Celebrity camp, Paul often spoke about Princess Diana and shared details of their time together.
However, the 59-year-old came under fire from viewers, with many claiming he was “cashing in” on her tragic death.

Defending his decision to share anecdotes about the late Princess of Wales, he commented: “This is my life.
“She was my friend and I loved her very much. I have a right to talk about my life and how it affects me.
“Take away the fact that she was a princess - just think of her as a woman, which is what I thought of her behind closed doors.”
“I loved her deeply,” he added. “I feel I do have a responsibility to talk about my friend, because it may inspire other people.”
During one segment on I’m A Celebrity, psychic John Edward revealed details of Diana’s crash, which left Paul shaken.
Speaking off the reading, Paul insisted it wasn’t a stunt.
“I don’t understand it,” he explained. “I thought surely this guy has some research and knows who I am.
“Having now known that he went in blind, what he came up with was quite astonishing. He told me things that only I know.”
