Prince Harry could be “booed again” when he returns to the UK next week as the British public is “unhappy with how things have turned out” since he and Meghan Markle moved to the US, Princess Diana’s former butler has said.
The Duke of Sussex is travelling to London for the first time since he visited King Charles in February – and while he is expected to meet his father again, a meeting with his older brother Prince William appears unlikely. Harry is travelling to London to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, attending a ceremony at St Paul’s Cathedral.
The last time Harry was at St Paul’s Cathedral with Meghan was in 2022 when the Sussexes attended a service for the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. The couple were largely cheered but there were also some lone boos when they arrived for the service.
As he returns to the same location, Harry could be “booed again”, claimed Paul Burrell, who worked for Princess Diana for over 10 years. Mr Burrell told the New York Post: “He is returning to St Paul’s Cathedral, where he was last booed. The public is still in the same frame of mind he may well get booed again.”
He added: “They don’t have a place or a purpose here, after all, Harry is now a resident of the US, so he is almost American.” The former butler said the British public is “unhappy with how things have turned out”, adding: “I’m sure the king and queen aren’t either.
“William has drawn a line in the sand, there is no chance of Harry reconciling with his brother. There is a chance and the door is still open with his father and I’m sure there will be a meeting, but Camilla won’t be there because I don’t think there is any love lost between Camilla and Harry.”
It comes as a source told The Mirror that Harry has kept “in regular contact with his father on several occasions and made no secret of his desire to see him when he can.” The source added: “He has been especially concerned about him and hopes the King will be well and able to see him as planned.”
