Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been slammed by Princess Diana's former butler, Paul Burrell, who has also brutally branded the Sussexes as "Ginge and Whinge".

Paul Burrell was the late Princess Diana's royal butler for 11 years, with him also serving as footman to the late Queen Elizabeth. The former butler has now weighed in on Diana's son, Prince Harry, and his decision to step down as a senior working royal, as well as the decisions he has made since moving to the States, and his thoughts on Harry's loss after taking legal action against the Home Office.

Speaking to GB News this week in the wake of Harry's legal challenge's verdict and announcement to appeal it, Mr Burrell said: "I think quite frankly the British public are sick and tired of 'Ginge and Whinge' and wish they would stay in America because if you stayed there, you wouldn't have to suffer the indignity of coming to Britain."

Mr Burrell then added that he feels the Duke of Sussex "is full of his own self-importance", adding that he believes he has an "inflated ego". He went on: "It's egotistical of him to think that he was in a greater risk than his mother," which referred to Harry's recent security case in the High Court, and how he feels he and his family are at risk when back in his homeland.

Mr Burrell then slammed Harry's claims that the decision regarding his security, and how it was taken away from him when he announced his departure from the Royal Family was done "without his knowledge". He said on GB News: "...and to say now that this was done without his knowledge is quite frankly wrong.

"It's once again one of Harry's truths and why should the British taxpayer put the bill for the security of an American celebrity visiting Britain. Can I just remind you that Harry chose to leave the Royal Family, it was his decision.

"I think that it's an arrogant position to think that he is so important, he wanted to leave the Royal Family."
