Prince Harry and wife Meghan Markle may have a new plan for their US future, former royal butler Paul Burrell has suggested.
Paul, who was the late Princess Diana’s butler for 10 years, said that their plans may involve a new direction where Meghan, 43, is the public face of their ventures while Harry, 40, takes a backseat role.
As the couple navigates their life in Montecito, California, it appears they have set their sights on carving out a new identity within the Hollywood world – one where Meghan may become a major media personality, while Harry takes on a more passive role.
Prince Harry ‘can sit back’ if Meghan Markle’s Netflix show is a success
According to Paul, Meghan’s upcoming Netflix show will be a defining moment in her career. It’ll see her give cooking, crafting and gardening tips as she’s joined by celebrity guests across the eight episodes.
With Love, Meghan was originally set to air on January 15. However, due to the California wildfires – the premiere has been delayed until March 4.
Speaking to Royal Insider on behalf of Prime Casino, Paul said: “This Netflix show, which will be aired now in March, I think will go ahead. I think she’ll be judged by that, but let’s not forget, she’s an actress. She can act this role, but she can fall back on those acting skills.”
That could be their plan. Meghan could be the public face of this company, but Harry sits back and babysits.
He expressed doubt over whether Meghan could truly evolve into a “Martha Stewart” figure without substantial support behind the scenes.
He added: “If it does take off, it will lead into a lifestyle brand, a branding exercise of Martha Stewart sort of dimensions.
“If she becomes a phenomenon, Harry can sit back, he can pretend to be Prince of Bel-Air, Prince of Montecito, and do what he does best, play polo, whilst he sends his wife out to work to earn the millions.
“That could be their plan. Meghan could be the public face of this company, but Harry sits back and babysits.”
He added that Harry would likely be “very happy” in such a scenario.
Prince Harry ‘used to being a royal prince’ and ‘letting everyone do it for him’
The former butler emphasised that Harry’s life has largely been one of privilege, where he didn’t have to work the traditional 9-to-5 grind.
Paul said: “All his life, Harry has had that world of sitting back and letting everyone else do it for him. He’s not used to going out to work, 9 to 5 or to stick to a schedule of work.
“He’s used to being a royal prince and royal princes actually dictate, they don’t get the game dictated to them.”
For Harry, transitioning into Hollywood where others set the pace has not been easy.
“It’s usually the other way around, so that can’t have been easy, whereas Meghan’s used to that world,” Paul explained.
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.

He also believes that Meghan, having experience in the entertainment industry, is well-equipped to thrive in this environment. However, he reminded audiences that they are not ordinary individuals.
“We’re talking about a royal prince and a duchess whose children are princes and princesses. This isn’t an ordinary family,” he stated. “They can always fall back on their USP, which is being royal, but isn’t that a contradiction of everything they stand for? Because that’s the one thing they’re running away from.”
Prince Harry has no ‘time for reconciliation’ with royal family
Meanwhile, Paul also discussed the strained relationship between Harry and his family.
When asked about the possibility of reconciliation with Prince William and the royal family, he expressed little hope.
“No, I don’t think there’s any time for reconciliation,” Paul told us. “What William can see is what I can see – that he’s focused on different things now. Harry’s focused on a different direction, and he doesn’t really care about what wreckage he leaves behind.”
