Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been plagued by divorce rumours lately – but now a former royal butler has shut down the speculation.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, 43, tied the knot in May 2018. They have since moved to the United States and are living happily with their two children – Archie, five, and Lilibet, three.
But the couple have made headlines recently with some sources and experts speculating on whether the pair could end up splitting. Even a British psychic, dubbed the “new Nostradamus”, predicted that Harry and Meghan could divorce in 2025.
But a former royal staff member has addressed the rumours, and suggested why the couple may not split.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle divorce won’t happen because he would ‘lose too much’
Recently, a source claimed to In Touch that the constant divorce rumours will likely “take a toll” on the couple. In other reports, it’s claimed the couple are “still hot for each other”.
Harry himself addressed rumours of a divorce in December 2024. He said at the New York Times 2024 DealBook Summit: “We’ve apparently divorced maybe 10, 12 times. It’s hard to keep up with, but that’s why you just sort of ignore it.”
Now, former royal butler Paul Burrell has given his opinion and explained why a Prince Harry and Meghan divorce won’t happen.
I personally think there are no signs of divorce because Harry would lose too much.
Paul, who worked as Harry’s late mother Princess Diana’s butler for 10 years, said in an interview with Prime Casino: “Despite pressures on their marriage and lifestyle, I personally think there are no signs of divorce because Harry would lose too much.
“I think Meghan and Harry have a common goal to make themselves as rich as possible in as short a time as possible.”
In addition, he added: “I think that balance works together for the sake of their brand, their marriage. It is all the same thing. I think Meghan actually retains a fascination for lots of people.”
Harry and Meghan allegations in Vanity Fair
Elsewhere in the chat, Paul addressed the Vanity Fair allegations against Harry, 40, and Meghan.
In a recent article by the publication, allegations came to light about Meghan’s treatment of staff, discussions about a potential post-divorce book and claims they’re “entitled” neighbours.
Discussing the claims, Paul said: “Vanity Fair is a prestigious title so to print such a damning article about Harry and Meghan is quite a precedent.
Queen Consort Camilla is set to undergo a major title change following the coronation in May, it has recently been reported.
Now, the real reason behind this change in title has been revealed by a royal expert – and it’s not due to her popularity.
Queen Consort Camilla to undergo major title change
Last week it was revealed that Camilla will undergo a major title change at the coronation.
As reported by The Mirror last Thursday (March 16), Camilla will be dropping the ‘Consort’ from her Queen Consort title soon.
Once the coronation is done, the 75-year-old will reportedly be simply known as Queen Camilla going forwards.
The news was revealed when the coronation edition of the bible was leaked.
In it, it reads: “To commemorate the Coronation of their majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla. In the Abbey Church of St Peter, Westminster. The sixth day of May 2023.”
When Camilla first married Charles, it was expected that she would become Princess Consort when Charles became King.
However, as per the late Queen Elizabeth’s wishes, Camilla’s title was changed to Queen Consort when Charles took the throne.
Now it seems as though another tweak is in order for Camilla’s royal title.
Why is Queen Consort Camilla changing her title?
Now, the real reason behind Camilla’s title change has been revealed – and it’s nothing to do with her popularity.
Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliam spoke exclusively to ED! about the decision to change Camilla’s title and the reasoning behind it.
“Camilla’s history with titles is unique,” he said.
“She was Princess of Wales but chose to be known as the Duchess of Cornwall,” he then continued.
” It was the official position that when Charles ascended the throne she would be known as Princess Consort, until the Queen’s intervention in the eve of her Platinum Jubilee.”
“She is Queen Consort, but it is a heavy handed title,” he then said.
Camilla title change not down to ‘popularity’
The royal expert then continued, saying: “None of the previous three Queen Consorts used it, Alexandra, Mary and Elizabeth were all known as Queen.”
“In the age of social media and the net bad habits such as calling Catherine – Kate Middleton persist,” he then said.
“It also makes sense to make a title easier to use, which is why the change is likely,” he then continued.
Camilla’s history with titles is unique.
Richard then revealed at this point that the title change has nothing to do with popularity.
“It isn’t really linked to her personal popularity,” he said.
However, there is also another reason behind the change, according to the royal expert.
“Queen Consort Camilla sounds clunky so it will probably change,” he revealed.

Paul Burrell says he has ‘firsthand experience’ with ‘how difficult Harry can be’
“They’re confirming what everybody else suspects. They’re listening to the people who are in the know, and, and don’t speculate. I take this article as pretty factual.”
Meanwhile, he continued: “I’ve never met Meghan myself, but how can so many other people be wrong? It’s not possible. I know from firsthand experience how difficult Harry can be.
“I know how petulant he can be and how spoiled he is. I’ve experienced that myself. He’s always lived in a bubble.”
