British royal family news shows that Prince Harry is an equal opportunity pest, having ticked off every echelon of the monarchy, from the king to his late mother’s former butler. Dirty Harry’s memoir titled Spare dropped this month and it was like a nuclear event for the monarchy as well as the British military, the unnamed woman who took his virginity, his “bald” brother, you get the idea. Let’s unpack how Harry managed to incense the man he refused to call by name in Spare.

Royal Family News – Harry Ticked Off Ryal Butler
Paul Burrell was the late Princess Diana’s former butler. He is mentioned in Spare, but not by name—is this some kind of rude snub by the chicken whisperer? Burrell told Marie Claire that his unnamed mentions, “annoyed me intensely.”

He went on to say, “I was really upset, really upset [by] the fact that he referred to me as ‘the butler,’ ‘mummy’s butler.’ Well, mummy’s butler was called Paul, Harry, and you knew me, all your life you’ve known me as Paul.”
According to Paul, “He had never known me as ‘the butler’ so why suddenly has there been a shift only recently, a shift to being called the butler? Suddenly I’m sort of being dismissed by this petulant prince as irrelevant because he says my tell-all book told nothing.”

Royal Family News – Harry Is The Spare
Burrell is referring to his own memoirs, A Royal Duty, and The Way We Were: Remembering Diana, published in 2000 and 2006, respectively. The books made a splash, but nothing like the torrid pages that Harry’s ghostwriter penned.
If able to talk to the clown prince face to face, Paul would say: “Harry you’re wrong, you are wrong on several levels. You are wrong because you have forgotten duty, respect, loyalty. Not only to your family but to our country and to the people of our country.”

Harry and his wife Meghan Markle ditched the monarchy in 2020 in a bombastic move termed Megxit. Since then they have trashed the UK and his family. As Paul notes, “I don’t think the people of our country like that very much. I wouldn’t worry about the media if he came back here, I’d worry about the people on the street because they have a say also and I’ve always said that the monarchy and our Royal Family have a very privileged life and live in a very privileged way where anything is at their disposal. The price they pay for that is public service. Well for Harry, that’s sort of gone now, the public service has finished and he’s swapped royalty for celebrity.”

In fact, the royal runaways were booed in June when they were in the UK for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. Things have gone south since then. After the publication of Spare, polls show that H and M’s popularity rankings have plummeted drastically.
