Princess Diana’s butler shows unseen letter to prove she would support Harry and Meghan
Princess Diana’s former butler Paul Burrell has shared a part of a letter written by the late royal, which supports the theory she would have backed her son, Prince Harry and his wife, Duchess Meghan, wholeheartedly.
The former butler and confidante to the Princess of Wales' says her words are "as appropriate today as they were when she wrote them".
The handwritten note was sent from Diana to Burrell, who worked with the princess until her death in 1997.
He posted the snippet of the letter on Instagram along with a black and white photo of Prince William and Prince Harry, with the caption: "As Harry, Meghan and Archie embark on a new life, I am reminded of some poignant words which Princess Diana wrote to me many years ago.
"They are a mother's words of unconditional love which are as appropriate today as they were when she wrote them over 24 years ago."
Diana's note read: "I love my boys to death and hope that the seeds I've planted will grow and bring the strength, knowledge and stability that is needed."
Burrell has previously shared his personal support for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, claiming Meghan was forced to find her own place within the royal family without support.
Speaking to Reuters after Harry and Meghan's tell-all interview in Africa, Burrell said: "There's no guidance. There's no support. There's no rulebook".
"Harry said that [he and William] are on different paths. I know what he means by that. William and Kate have a map in front of them. They're headed for monarchy."
